<sysinfo>

Sets properties with system information.

Sets a number of properties with information about the system environment. The intent of this task is for nightly build logs to have a record of system information so that the build was performed on.

Property Value
<prefix>.clr.version Common Language Runtime version number.
<prefix>.env.* Environment variables (e.g., <prefix>.env.PATH).
<prefix>.os.platform Operating system platform ID.
<prefix>.os.version Operating system version.
<prefix>.os Operating system version string.
<prefix>.os.folder.applicationdata The directory that serves as a common repository for application-specific data for the current roaming user.
<prefix>.os.folder.commonapplicationdata The directory that serves as a common repository for application-specific data that is used by all users.
<prefix>.os.folder.commonprogramfiles The directory for components that are shared across applications.
<prefix>.os.folder.desktopdirectory The directory used to physically store file objects on the desktop. Do not confuse this directory with the desktop folder itself, which is a virtual folder.
<prefix>.os.folder.programfiles The Program Files directory.
<prefix>.os.folder.system The System directory.
<prefix>.os.folder.temp The temporary directory.

When the name of an environment variable is not a valid property name, the task will fail. In that case, set failonerror to true to allow that environment variable to be skipped.

Note: we advise you to use the following functions instead:

Function Description
environment::get-operating-system() Gets a OperatingSystem object that identifies this operating system.
environment::get-folder-path() Gets the path to a system special folder.
environment::get-variable() Returns the value of a environment variable.
path::get-temp-path() Gets the path to the temporary directory.
environment::get-version() Gets the Common Language Runtime version.

Parameters
