This is code from Hussars team Desktop application (it would be published here soon):
#define HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE	0x80000002
#define gREGKEYSYSINFO		"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSINFO"
#define gREGVALSYSINFO		"PATH"
#define SW_NORMAL			1

DECLARE LONG ShellExecute IN SHELL32.DLL ;
    LONG nWinHandle, STRING cOperation,;
    STRING cFileName, STRING cParameters,;
    STRING cDirectory, INTEGER nShowWindow

Local lcSysInfoPath

* Try To Get System Info Program Path\Name From Registry...
oReg = NewObject("registry", "libs\registry.prg")
lcSysInfoPath = oReg.ReadRegistryString(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, gREGKEYSYSINFO, gREGVALSYSINFO)

If ShellExecute(0, "open", lcSysInfoPath, "", "", SW_NORMAL) <= 32
	MessageBox("System Information Is Unavailable At This Time")
endif

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
