bccsdk and WMI

[Oscar Joel Lira Lira]

Hello, excellent project!    
use bcc55 and wanted to know if with bccsdk I can access to WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation)

thanks Oscar   

it excuses my English, but use a translation of google

Well bccsdk contains all of the headers from MS Platform SDK Windows Server 2003 SP1 so WMI stuff is in there.

There is also wbemuuid.lib.

The answer to your question would be than yes. I must state, though, that I never tested WMI.

If you find something that does not work properly just come back here and I'll see what I can do about it.

OK I see the problem here.

You need to specify the lib file folder where comsupp.lib and wbemuuid.lib are located.

For example if you installed bccsdk in c:\bccsdk command line to compile sample would look like this:

bcc32 -Ic:\bccsdk\include -Lc:\bccsdk\lib test.cpp

I compiled the eexample from MS site and it works just fine

If you plan to use bccsdk in all projects you can add it to bcc32.cfg and ilink32.cfg. Asuming bccsdk is in c:\bccsdk they would look like this:

-- bcc32.cfg
-I"c:\bccsdk\include";"c:\borland\bcc55\include"
-L"c:\bccsdk\lib";"c:\borland\bcc55\lib\PSDK";"c:\borland\bcc55\lib"

-- ilink32.cfg
-L"c:\bccsdk\lib";"c:\borland\bcc55\lib\PSDK";"c:\borland\bcc55\lib"
