I have written a WMI Instance provider and installed it successfully
on Windows 2000. However, when I try to compile the same MOF file on
Windows XP the registration fails due to my not setting the
HostingModel attribute.

Now, I can easily change the MOF to include this HostingModel
attribute, however if I do that then the same MOF file will not
compile on Windows 2000, i.e. I get the following output:

>mofcomp DelProv.mof
Microsoft (R) 32-bit MOF Compiler Version 1.50.1085.0007
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp. 1997-1999. All rights reserved.

Parsing MOF file: DelProv.mof
MOF file has been successfully parsed
Storing data in the repository...
An error occurred while creating object 5 defined on lines 35 - 40:
0X80041002 Class, instance, or property 'HostingModel' was not found.
Compiler returned error 0x80041001

So, does anyone know if there is a MofComp.exe preprocessor directive
that I could use to exclude the line 'HostingModel =
"NetworkServiceHost"; ' from a compilation on a Windows 2000 machine?

I know that I could ship two different MOF files with my installation,
but I was trying to avoid that.

All help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Will
