#2 DeviceInfoPlusWindowsPlugin.deviceInfo (package:device_info_plus/src/device_info_plus_windows.dart:40:36)
#3 DeviceInfoPlugin.windowsInfo (package:device_info_plus/device_info_plus.dart:93:27)

[ERROR:flutter/runtime/dart_vm_initializer.cc(41)] Unhandled Exception: Error 0x00000000: Operazione completata.

This looks like some access permission issue according to logs. Have you search this error?
Also, I am not sure if plugin is supposed to work alright in virtual environments.

[enricocenteni]

@vbuberen In the plugin documentation I don't see any particular setup for permissions on Windows. Furthermore, the method should return a string (even just "unknown" or something), not crash.
It seems to crash while requesting memory information.

#0 DeviceInfoPlusWindowsPlugin.getSystemMemoryInMegabytes (package:device_info_plus/src/device_info_plus_windows.dart:128:9)

It could be a problem with virtualbox

[vbuberen]

In the plugin documentation I don't see any particular setup for permissions on Windows. Furthermore, the method should return a string (even just "unknown" or something), not crash.

The thing is I am not the only one working on plugins and I don't really involved in Windows part of things. I shared with you what I found about the error you have seen. Presumably, you should have also seen it as you marked that Googled the error in the checkbox. Thanks for stating the obvious thing on how the plugin should work, but the tone of your message feels like demanding to me. If that is so, you are free to open a PR and resolve the issue, thus, help other people with similar setups.

[vbuberen]

Could I ask you to check if this plugin works Ok in the setup you have with VirtualBox?
https://github.com/onepub-dev/system_info

I am not really familiar with Windows development and currently don't have anyone to help here, but would like to address the issue you encountered. Thus, would appreciate the feedback if that other plugin works fine for you.

[cstichlberger]

It's an issue with the VM that can be solved with the following (turn off VM first)

VBoxManage setextradata "<nameofVM>" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiExposeMemoryTable" "1"

From https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=107885

Before that, I had the same issue:

Error 0x8007000d: The data is invalid.
#0 Device]nfoPIusWindowsPlugin.getSystemMemorylnMegabytes (package:device_info_plus/src/device_info_p|us_windows.dart:128)
#1 DevicelnfoPlusWindowsPlugin.get|nfo (package:device_info_p|us/src/device_info_p|us_windows.dart:88)
#2 DevicelnfoPlusWindowsPlugin.devicelnfo (package:device_info_p|us/src/device_info_plus_windows.dart:40)
#3 DevicelnfoPluginJinuxlnfo (package:device_info_p|us/device_info_p|us.dart:72)

Happens only in my VM (Win11 within VirtualBox 7 on Ubuntu 23.04), on a regular Windows machine the same executable works. Its an issue with Window/VirtualBox, the same WinApi call GetPhysicallyInstalledSystemMemory that's producing the error in the plugin also fails when calling it from a C# application.

Therefore you can close this issue, it's got little to do with this flutter plugin.

[miquelbeltran]

One possible "fix" is that the getSystemMemoryInMegabytes in device_info_plus_windows.dart fails silently with a 0 rather than throwing an exception. At least it would make the plugin usable in a VM, even if the memory value is wrong.
