Example:
Getting system information

In this example, we'll get the amount of free hard drive space and the total amount of RAM (in megabytes) on the user's system.

Here's what the action list looks like:

First, we use a "System - Get Drive Information" action to get the amount of free space on the user's C: drive, and store it in a variable called %FreeSpace%.

Then, we use a "System - Get Information" action to get the amount of RAM on the user's system, and store it in a variable called %RAM%.

Finally, we use our two variables (%FreeSpace% and %RAM%) in a message that we display with a "Dialog - Message Box" action.

Here's a link to the finished example, as an AutoPlay Media Studio 4.0 actions XML file that you can import into an action list:

Getting_System_Information.zip

(Note: save this file to your hard drive and use a tool like WinZip to extract the XML file)
