Microsoft System Information (Msinfo32.exe) is a basic tool for gathering
system configuration information. This tool is intended primarily to help
engineers determine information that could indicate problems with the
system. Msinfo32.exe has many more features than the standard Windows NT
Diagnostics (Winmsd.exe) included with Windows NT. Msinfo is distributed in
the Microsoft Office distribution. The Office 7.0, Office 97, and Office 2000 versions work on all versions of Windows NT through version 4.0.
MORE INFORMATION
Although there are many features available in this tool outlined in the
Help file, one of the most helpful is the ability to list all DLL's and
all of their properties, including whether they are currently loaded. This
tool will list all of the same information for the executables including a
special entry for 16-bit modules. Another commonly used feature is used
to review the OLE registration entries in both the Registry and Win.ini
file.
