[APN] April 4 2006: WiTS 1.0 beta released.

The Windows Inspection Tool Set (WiTS) provides you with cross-linked, filtered views of a Windows system. View operating system information, processes, services, users, network interfaces and connections, file shares and more. All views are linked, allowing for easy navigation between related objects.

See [http://wits.magicsplat.com] for details, downloads and source.
See [https://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=90123] for a sample screen shot.

WiTS is built using (amongst other packages) [Tile], [tablelist], [TWAPI], [Snit] and [scrodget].

[Alastair Davies] thinks this is an interesting tool.  Only one problem: the "OS and Hardware" window gives me an "Application Error" and all entries are "N/A".  The other windows are very informative, and the interface is attractive and simple to use.  Nice work!  I'd be happy to supply any further information if you're trying to solve the problem I ran across.  The full text of the error message is:

 No data to return.
    while executing
 "PdhCollectQueryData $hquery"
    (procedure "collect_perf_query_data" line 2)
    invoked from within
 "collect_perf_query_data $hquery"
    invoked from within
 "try {
        set hcounter [add_perf_counter $hquery $counter_path]
        collect_perf_query_data $hquery
        if {$opts(interval)} {
           ..."
    (procedure "get_counter_path_value" line 19)
    invoked from within
 "get_counter_path_value {\\.\System\System Up Time} -interval 0"
    (procedure "get_system_uptime" line 2)
    invoked from within
 "get_system_uptime"
    (procedure "twapi::get_system_info" line 17)
    invoked from within
  (other uninteresting stuff truncated by [APN] for brevity)

[APN] I believe this problem is fixed in the 1.0 release. I could reproduce it on non-US English systems only and was caused by a character case mismatch when translating counter names into localized form. If you are seeing this on a US English system (using WiTS 1.0), please reply to this.
