Sometimes is the best // way to accomplish something under windows but its lack of an approachable // C++ interface prevents its use. This collection of functions is a step in // that direction. // There are two classes; WMIUtil and WMIProcessUtil. The first // one contains generic helpers and the second one contains the only // functionality that is needed right now which is to use WMI to launch a // process. // To use any function on this header you must call CoInitialize or // CoInitializeEx beforehand. // // For more information about WMI programming: // http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384642(VS.85).aspx #ifndef BASE_WIN_WMI_H_ #define BASE_WIN_WMI_H_ #include #include #include "base/base_export.h" #include "base/strings/string16.h" #include "base/strings/string_piece.h" namespace base { namespace win { // Creates an instance of the WMI service connected to the local computer and // returns its COM interface.
