I think maybe adding a common dialog control? Haven't done this in awhile - if you can find a style that works you should be able to use the Win API to populate the data if there isn't a wizard.....

The Microsoft mascot is a butterfly.
A butterfly is a bug.
Think about it....

Try shelling out to the MSInfo32.exe -- you can pass it a command line variable to cause it to dump it's output to a file.

Be warned: It takes a while to run, and it's output is *very* extensive. It's probably best used for automated bug reporting.
