execution of .exe file on a remote machine using WMI objects

[EDN Admin]

Hi all,
the code was working fine for four iteration and then it got failed with exeception "not found". i tried to execute the code using step over "F10" option and i found the exeception exactly at "InputParameters = ManagementClass.GetMethodParameters("Create")". my code is copied below. I googled and i got the answer like WMI got corrupted and needs to repair. please suggest me any workaround.
Imports System.Management
Imports System
Imports System.Threading
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Dim str As String = "C:UsersIometerIometer.exe X410IOMeterWindowsedrivenew.icf X:Outputhemanth12373462374jbcjksdcbfs_fsdghhdvf_hjch_2.csv"
Dim targetip As String = "192.168.1.14"
WMI_Installation(targetip, str)
End Sub
Sub WMI_Installation(ByVal strComputer As String, ByVal strs As String)
Dim Options As New System.Management.ConnectionOptions

Options.Username = "Administrator"
Options.Password = "password"
Dim ManagementScope As New System.Management.ManagementScope("\" & strComputer & "rootcimv2", Options)
Dim ManagementPath As New System.Management.ManagementPath("Win32_Process")
Dim ManagementOptions As New System.Management.ObjectGetOptions
Dim ManagementClass As New System.Management.ManagementClass(ManagementScope, ManagementPath, ManagementOptions)
Dim OutputParameters As System.Management.ManagementBaseObject
Dim InputParameters As System.Management.ManagementBaseObject
Try

ManagementScope.Connect()
InputParameters = ManagementClass.GetMethodParameters("Create")
InputParameters("CommandLine") = "net use X:\192.168.1.3C$Atomos Password12 /user:Administrator"
OutputParameters = ManagementClass.InvokeMethod("Create", InputParameters, Nothing)
MessageBox.Show(OutputParameters("returnValue"))
Thread.Sleep(10000)
InputParameters("CommandLine") = strs
OutputParameters = ManagementClass.InvokeMethod("Create", InputParameters, Nothing)
MessageBox.Show(OutputParameters("processId"))
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("There was an error connecting to the remote computer." & vbNewLine & ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub

End Class
Thanks
