WMI Queries in C?

Question

Is it possible to issue WMI WQL queries in plain C? And if yes, how?

Answer 1

You can use any programming language that you want as long as you can call into the COM API for WMI.

Answer 2

It looks like you can do this sort of thing by using ExecQuery(), though this example is in C++. BTW this guy couldn't get it to work, but you may check out what he's doing.

Hope this helps.
