Hardware IDs using VB 6

It's a long time that I have given up MS platform and was working on open source, now I'm in a situation where I need user Hardware info. All hardware IDs of all devices of system including BIOS info. so I decided to go for VB6. It's easy in other languages, but they need dot net framework installed. How can this be done in VB6 alone.
