RE: Changes to WMI on Vista that would prevent custom WMI Provider DLL from loading?

Hi,

I already consulted this issue with our product team, they confirmed that
there have been no changes to the registering process of WMI provider dlls
on VISTA.

Have you tried some other WMI binary/provider dll in your Vista machine, is
it OK?

Would you please give us more details about your binary/provider dll and
the repro steps for us to research?

Thanks!

Best regards,

Gary Chang
