    check running virtual machine

    Hi there,

    is there a way that my vb6 app will check if the application was executed under virtual machine (vmware, virtualpc or similar)

    Thanks and best regards,

    alexis

    you could probably do this by checking the network adaptors, or other device provided by the host
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    no i just thought of it, but wmi should be able to get information about network adadptors, to determine if they are devices provided by the vmware or others
    i don't have a virtual windows box to test on
