Ah. Apologies; that example is a little out of date. I'll have to clean up my docs. Obviously, if you want to use "clean COM" then feel free, but the example you cite above which works for you pid, retval = c.Win32_Process.Create (...) does the same thing as the out-of-date example. Although I'm not entirely sure why that fails. What version of Windows are you using, by the way? It's possible that I've put something XP-specific into the module. <dump> Python 2.4.2 (#67, Sep 28 2005, 12:41:11) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import wmi >>> remote_process = wmi.WMI (computer="vogbp364").new ("Win32_Process") >>> >>> for i in wmi.WMI ().Win32_OperatingSystem (): ... print i.Caption ... Microsoft Windows XP Professional >>> </dump> If you want to go for raw COM, I'm quite happy to give examples of what you need if you can't work it out; likewise, I'm happy to work with you to get the wmi module working on your system if it's something I can easily fix/alter.
