The 
GetSystemFirmwareTable(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/m
s724379%28v=vs.85%29.aspx) function is not present in some Windows versions. So 
on these cases you must use the USEWMI mode instead. To activate this mode go 
to the uSMBIOS unit and change this line {.$DEFINE USEWMI} to {$DEFINE USEWMI}

Professionally speaking using the above function has nothing to do
with compilation.
For the unit to be useful it has to check the machine on which it runs 
and then decide at run time what kind of function to enable or else
check if GetSystemFirmwareTable exist in the dll at run time.
One dose not take the compiler to the field!!!
