Can't build WMI/C++ example in Visual Studio

EDN Admin · Sep 9, 2005

I downloaded Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition Beta and Im trying to compile an example WMI program that I got from:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/example__getting_wmi_data_from_a_remote_computer.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/example__getting_wmi_data_from_a_remote_computer.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/example__getting_wmi_data_from_a_remote_computer.asp

I copied & pasted the example into a file I named wmi.cpp. Then I created a WMI project in VC++ and tried to build it. It compiles OK, but I get two errors during linking. Heres the output:

<font size="1 Linking... WMI.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp_??$?6DU?$char_traits@D@std@@@std@@YAAAV?$basic_ostream@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@@0@AAV10@PBD@Z referenced in function _main WMI.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "wchar_t * __stdcall _com_util::ConvertStringToBSTR(char const *)" (?ConvertStringToBSTR@_com_util@@YGPA_WPBD@Z) referenced in function "public: __thiscall _bstr_t:

ata_t:

ata_t(char const *)" ( mailto:??0Data_t@_bstr_t@@QAE@PBD@Z mailto:??0Data_t@_bstr_t@@QAE@PBD@Z ??0Data_t@_bstr_t@@QAE@PBD@Z ) Does anybody know how to solve this? Many thanks in advance. Id ideally like to be able to compile this from a command line, but using VC++ would be great for now.

The source code is copied here:

 { HRESULT hres; Release(); CoUninitialize(); ConnectServer( _bstr_t(LRelease(); CoUninitialize(); Release(); pLoc->Release(); CoUninitialize(); ExecQuery( bstr_t(Release(); pLoc->Release(); CoUninitialize(); Next(WBEM_INFINITE, 1, &pclsObj, &uReturn); Get(LGet(LRelease(); pLoc->Release(); pEnumerator->Release(); pclsObj->Release(); CoUninitialize();
