I'm trying to get exactly the functionality you have here but the ability to have it run from a command line and email the results.
Scenario: We have remote users who are not computer literate. I would like to have an app/script kick off through a mapped hotkey or function key that allows them to hit a key and have it email us or have their email client bring the email and attachment up so they only have to hit send. This will allow us to see what is going on with their machine at the time they are having issues.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
It was quite weird for me to get an email this morning that someone asked a question about this tool. I had largely abandoned the project due to a lack of interest a long, long time ago.
However, the functionaly that you are looking for does exist by running the binary from a command line as follows:
You can define your settings within the parameters of the application; have the command run remotely however you so desire; and then have the resulting package sent back to you.
Although in some quick testing just now, there seems to be an unhandled exception. I'll look into this later today and try to post an update.

Nevermind that issue; I fed it the wrong settings XML file. I'll have to clean up that exception handling though since that's pretty sloppy.
Anyway, I tested the workflow. You can define what you want to gather in the XML file and issue the command above. An output.tgz file will be created that you can then open directly with the application to review the information gathered.
I hope this helps with whatever you need to accomplish!

However, the functionaly that you are looking for does exist by running the binary from a command line as follows:
winsig.exe /S:"\path\to\settings.xml" /O:"\path\to\outputfile.tgz"
Run "winsig.exe /?" for more info.
