convert vbs to masm

[ChillyWilly]

is something like this possible to convert to masm?

Code Select Expand

Dim VOL_PROD_KEY
VOL_PROD_KEY = Wscript.arguments.Item(0)
VOL_PROD_KEY = Replace(VOL_PROD_KEY,"-","") 'remove hyphens if any

for each Obj in GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}").InstancesOf ("win32_WindowsProductActivation")

   result = Obj.SetProductKey (VOL_PROD_KEY)

Yes, it is a WMI interface, you'll find a few examples of how to use them on the board. Its going to look a lot more complicated than that script though ;)

ToutEnMasm did an example here:

You can execute the script from MASM, I saw an example by Ernie once that executed VB script. I think it used to be in the MASM32 distribution, Hutch would probably still have a copy of it somewhere. Its a pretty good way to attack the problem, though I would probably choose the WMI route but then I'm a bit of a masochist.

ChillyWilly,

After reading your post I thought I would check out the Win32_WindowsProductActivation class. I couldn't find that class on my system. I did a search and found out the following.

Question:  Has the Win32_WindowsProductActivation class been removed from Windows Vista? I have a script that I use to activate Windows, but that script no longer works on Windows Vista.

Answer:  Hello HM, The Win32_WindowsProductActivation class has been removed from Windows Vista. Instead, you need to use these two classes seen here:

SoftwareLicensingService

SoftwareLicensingProduct

Both WMI classes are found in the Root\Cimv2 WMI namespace.

From the 'Hey, Scripting Guy! Blog'

It's the same situation for Windows 7.  I just thought I'd let you know.

i believe vista and windows7 both include a file called slmgr.vbs that will do such things , xp didnt include anything like that
