Description
A plugin by Peter Mason (menakkis) that can tell you quite a lot about the cpu in the system your installer is running on.
It's uses one function called tell(). This DLL function returns a string giving some information about the CPU on the computer where your setup program's being run. This info string always has the same fields in exactly the same place, so it's easy to pull it apart. The info string looks like this:
INTELP=d AMD=add PPRO=b MMX=d SSE=b SSE2=b 3DNOW=d ARCH=dd LEVEL=dd NCPU=dd
"d" means a decimal digit (0..9), "a" means a letter (A..Z), and "b" means a boolean digit (0 or 1).
Usage
(e.g. in your Install section):
; ... cpudesc::tell Pop $0 ;full identification string in $0 StrCpy $1 $0 1, 22 ;pull out one character after PPRO= IntFmt $2 "%u" $1 ; and turn it into a number IntCmpU $2 1 +1 +3 +3 ;pick a BLOG dep on PPro compatibility File /oname=blog.exe "blog_source_directory\blog_gen.exe" Goto +2 File /oname=blog.exe "blog_source_directory\blog_pro.exe" ; ... the rest of your Install section
