One of our middleware providers has started requiring SSE support on the processor to run their code. I'm having trouble figuring out how to find this information through SetupBuilder to detect whether a user's pc meets requirements.

The processor ID function returns a lot of information, but according to this page (http://softpixel.com/~cwright/programming/simd/cpuid.php) the bit I need is not included. I need to check the Standard Feature Flags field. Is that accessible in SetupBuilder?

Tim,

We have implemented a feature to detect whether a processor does have support for SSE.

Would it be possible for you to check this? Please drop me a line at friedrich (at) lindersoft (dot) com and I'll send you a small test installer application.
