MSinfo is typically started from Help,About rather than the command line, if not in the system path, MS info can usually be found in:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSInfo
If you have problems getting MSInfo to run, check permissions on the following key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSInfo\
The following example gathers each high-level category into a separate .nfo file, which can be read by Msinfo32.exe. start /wait msinfo32.exe /nfo syssum.nfo /categories +SystemSummary
start /wait msinfo32.exe /nfo cmpnt.nfo /categories +components
start /wait msinfo32.exe /nfo swenv.nfo /categories +swenv
start /wait msinfo32.exe /nfo hwdres.nfo /categories +resources
start /wait msinfo32.exe /nfo ie.nfo /categories +internetexplorer
