WMI and Windows 2000

FinalBuilder Bugs
1

I’ve tried to use all WMI actions in finalbuilder under Windows XP and Windows 2000.
Under Windows no problem.
But with Windows, the problem is that the namespace used to access WMI functions is unvalid.
I’ve looked at the WMI logs and under Windows the namespace specified was :
\.\root\cimv2 which is correct.
But under Windows 2000 it was
\./root/cimv2 which is not correct.

Do you have any idea for such a behaviour ?

Hi Ludovic,

Thanks for reporting this. It’s very interesting… it seems the SWbemLocator object (which is what we use to initialise the WMI actions) parses /root/cimv2 on WinXP+W2K3, but not on Windows 2000.

I’ve changed the syntax to \root\cimv2, so it should work on all systems now. We’ll have a test build with the fix out soon (will let you know.)
