You didn't even mention the platform that is a very important factor. You should use google to find the answer to such a question anyway.

Will this help in C++ ???

Had you even bothered to read it, you would have seen your answer, "WMI is designed for programmers who use C/C++"

Richard MacCutchan 7-Oct-12 12:47pm

Why not go and read it.

Richard,
Very useful answer. But it wont help OP. The reason is because of the mentioned Compiler, Turbo c++3.0, which does not have any proper library to access win32 APIs

So, adding with you I will suggest op to install express version of Visual C++

Interesting, but how do they write windows programs with it?

Mohibur Rashid 8-Oct-12 3:36am

Who said they write windows program with it? The time it was developed windows didnt born

Richard MacCutchan 8-Oct-12 3:48am

Given some of the other places I've seen it mentioned I thought it was a reasonable assumption.

Mohibur Rashid 8-Oct-12 3:58am

In India, Bangladesh and Pakistan they study a book written by an indian writer, i forgot both names. This book was written targeting turbo c++ 3.0, so all the student from there has a tendency to get all the solution with Turbo C++ 3.0, I spend so many hours. .. I regret those lost times

It seems that far more of them (at least of those on CodeProject) are familiar with Visual Studio these days.

Mohibur Rashid 8-Oct-12 4:06am

I blame their school, they suggest to go with it strongly

Yes, A +5!

for sytem information:
SYSTEM_INFO SysInfo;
GetSystemInfo(&SysInfo);
