Extracting Video Card information...
I need to have our installer report all video cards
installed on the computer. In addition these video
cards could support multiple heads.

Could anyone let me know how this could be accomplished
with HwInfo plugin?

You might be able to use HwInfo as a start. I believe it only returns you the currently active video card though not all video cards installed on your system. You'd have to extend the HwInfo plugin or write your own. I would imagine you would want to make sure of EnumDisplayDevices which you can read up on here...
