Is there any way to detect what machine configuration end user has ? Two main information I need is Processor , memory . I know web has limitations so this might be impossible .

Is there any activex plugin that can do this ? I see HP has a way to do this . It installs an activex plugin to do this http://h20239.www2.hp.com/techcenter/HP_SystemCheck/hp_syscheck.htm .

  • By what method are you extracting this machine information? – Kermit Sep 04 '12 at 20:50
  • @njk I am not extracting any information . I am yet finding a way to do this . – Pit Digger Sep 04 '12 at 20:50
  • But what are you trying to do with this information? I can just tell you to have the user open up their computer and check the parts. – Kermit Sep 04 '12 at 20:51
  • I have a tool that they will be installing. Instead of they download and later find out that their machine is not having enough configuration I want to alert on page itself before they download .I know I can show them system requirement but in case they miss to read it. – Pit Digger Sep 04 '12 at 21:02
  • Would a 3rd party app like [CPU-Z](http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html) work? Or run > `dxdiag`? – Kermit Sep 04 '12 at 21:06

Flash, Java and Silverlight may help you to retrieve many system specific informations & configuration.

Below are the most possible way to perform system level actions on user's device via Web Browser and respective plugin.

Say thanks to Zakaria & have a look at same answer given here.
