Postmodern WMI Access

Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), MSDN

If you've ever written an application, and, wanted to determine the installed Windows Operating System Version on the user's computer, you've, no doubt, run into several annoying problems:

  • It's a complete pain in the ass,...and,...
  • It requires an awful lot of tedious code.
    So,...because I'm basically a fearlessly inept programmer, I've written an assembly language application that demonstrates the two current methods of determining the Operating System version: GetVersionEx, which is now OFFICIALLY deprecated,...and, the recommended alternative, accessing the WMI infrastructure to retrieve the appropriate data. WMI is all COM. Either way requires a ridiculous amount of code to return, presumably, accurate information about the Operating System. GetVersionEx works correctly up to Windows Version 8.1,...at which point it still works, but returns the incorrect version information. Windows 8.1 will return version information indicating it is actually Windows 8.0.
    The only difficult aspect of writing this code is prototyping the WMI COM interfaces as MASM-compatible structures. The correct execution of the application rests entirely on this mechanism. And, I had NO concept of how to do this reliably until I stumbled upon an example posted in the MASM Forum by, QWORD. QWORD is a well-known Forum genius, and, I thought it would be appropriate to acknowledge his contributions to the global assembly programmer community, by highjacking his technique and, using it extensively in this program. Thanks, QWORD,...
    I should warn you that there is an vast quantity of bloat infesting this program (and,...I expect numerous death threats for this). The application is a great example of HOW NOT TO WRITE AN ASSEMBLY PROGRAM. You would never deploy code like this in the real world,...it's too cumbersome, too error prone,...and, there are better ways of getting your code to work on someone else's computer without searching WMI first. 
    As always,...all comments are welcome,...except DAVE's GDI Device Context inquiries,...

GetVersionEx, which is now OFFICIALLY deprecated
You can use RtlGetVersion in ntdll.dll as a replacement for GetVersionEx. It's exactly the same function (takes the same two structures, though the MSDN page has them named differently), except it's unicode only and hasn't been, shall we say, neutered, in the same way.

There is also an environment variable called %OS%. From a DOS prompt, type
echo %OS%
and hit Enter.

sinsi

C:\Users\tester>echo %OS%

Useful.

You do just a little better with VER

One thing about Microsoft deprecation, it means that at least the API is stable.  :P

Zen,

Access WMI.asm(756) : error A2006: undefined symbol : Fh

@Hutch: see Windows.inc:
ACCESS_DENIED_CALLBACK_ACE_TYPE  equ (0Ah)
ACCESS_ALLOWED_CALLBACK_OBJECT_ACE_TYPE equ (Bh)
ACCESS_DENIED_CALLBACK_OBJECT_ACE_TYPE equ (Ch)
SYSTEM_AUDIT_CALLBACK_ACE_TYPE   equ (Dh)
SYSTEM_ALARM_CALLBACK_ACE_TYPE   equ (Eh)
SYSTEM_AUDIT_CALLBACK_OBJECT_ACE_TYPE equ (Fh)
SYSTEM_ALARM_CALLBACK_OBJECT_ACE_TYPE equ (10h)

After inserting this, it assembles fine:

        ASSUME ecx: NOTHING
        SYSTEM_AUDIT_CALLBACK_OBJECT_ACE_TYPE equ (0Fh)
        .IF bl==SYSTEM_AUDIT_CALLBACK_OBJECT_ACE_TYPE    ;    (0Fh)

P.S.: Jotti says 6 out of 22 found "Gen:Variant.Kazy.156456" - how did you produce this???

The NTDDI_... is the more easy to work with.
Need the list of NTDDI_ constantes in sdkddkver.h (sdk)
For all the system,you need a test

Thanks, everyone for the information. All of your comments had info that I was completely unaware of. Thanks, ADEYBLUE...I wasn't even aware the RtlGetVersion routine even existed. :dazzled:

Quote from: HUTCHOne thing about Microsoft deprecation, it means that at least the API is stable.
FUNNY,...and, yet,...so true,...

JOCHEN,
It's weird, I rewrote and recompiled that program many times, and the compiler only caught one of those errors (forgetting the leading zero, before a hex value starting with a letter).
But, the more serious problem is the virus scan. I'm mystified. You have the source code,...where is the virus ???
The question: how did you produce this ???,...
I wrote the source in the Hutch's Quick Editor, and compiled it with the MASM compiler (ml.exe, Microsoft Macro Assembler version 6.14.8444, included with the MASM32 Package). I've never heard of Jotti before,...is it reliable ???

...And,...TOUTENMASM,...Thanks, I've never run across the  NTDDI version constants before,...had no idea even what they were,...

You can check the registry to determine the OS version :

.386
.model flat,stdcall
option casemap:none

include     \masm32\include\windows.inc
include     \masm32\include\kernel32.inc
include     \masm32\include\user32.inc
include     \masm32\include\masm32.inc
include     \masm32\include\advapi32.inc
include     \masm32\include\msvcrt.inc

includelib  \masm32\lib\kernel32.lib
includelib  \masm32\lib\user32.lib
includelib  \masm32\lib\masm32.lib
includelib  \masm32\lib\advapi32.lib
includelib  \masm32\lib\msvcrt.lib

.data

subkey      db 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion',0
ValName     db 'ProductName',0
buffsize    dd 32

.data?

hKey        dd ?
buffer      db 32 dup(?)

.code

start:

    invoke  RegOpenKeyEx,HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,ADDR subkey,0,\
            KEY_ALL_ACCESS,ADDR hKey

    invoke  RegQueryValueEx,hKey,ADDR ValName,0,\
            0,ADDR buffer,ADDR buffsize

    invoke  StdOut,ADDR buffer
   
    invoke  RegCloseKey,hKey
    invoke  ExitProcess,0

END start

VORTEX,
Yeah,...thanks, good stuff. I'd forgotten about the registry. This key exists with the correct value for all versions of Windows (I assume it does) ???

interesting code. Can I use it for later?

Gunther
You have to know the facts before you can distort them.

dedndave

Erol has the right idea
in fact, some details may only be discovered by reading the registry

http://www.masmforum.com/board/index.php?topic=11963.0
http://www.masmforum.com/archive2012/6537_OSinfo23.zip

EDIT: using the registry should solve the 8.0/8.1 issue although, i haven't tested it

dedndave

in reference to the post by adeyblue, "officially depricated" doesn't really mean a lot   :biggrin:

i am willing to bet that the function will still be supported in windows 9

Zen

DAVE !!
I was completely OBLIVIOUS to this thread. THANKS !
...So,...in addition to being a world-renowned expert on GDI Device Contexts,...you are also an expert on Operating System versions ???

You probably modified Windows.inc and forgot about it. The equate MUST trigger an assembly error. Compare your windows.inc date to the other inc files.

Jotti is reliable, they use the major AV engines. Which means that something in your code triggers a warning based on heuristic analysis. Your invokes look clean...
