I am getting the below error

PS D:\Users\pgeorg01\Desktop\New folder\new> mofcomp.exe -check .\GoogleConfig.mof

Microsoft (R) MOF Compiler Version 10.0.18362.1

Parsing MOF file: .\GoogleConfig.mof

.\GoogleConfig.mof (7): error SYNTAX 0X80044002: Expected semicolon or '='

Compiler returned error 0x80044002

And is there any other way to get this done, then extending the hardware inventory?

Hi, @Philip George

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

According to the error message, it seems the 7 line has a syntax problem.
The 7 line should be:
[SMS_Report(TRUE)] Uint32 Update{8A69D345_D564_463C_AFF1_A69D9E530F96};
I guess the curly brackets caused the issue, you may changed it to:
[SMS_Report(TRUE)] Uint32 Update;

And change [SMS_Report(TRUE)] String TargetVersionPrefix{8A69D345_D564_463C_AFF1_A69D9E530F96}; to [SMS_Report(TRUE)] String TargetVersionPrefix;

And change the corresponding part in instance section.
