Hello Hans,

Guess what's the first hit in Google now ;) And the book is wrong, according
to my tests, some CIM_UINT32 properties map to VT_UI4, others map to VT_I4.

Yeah, don't be evil ;-)

So your tests reveal there is a per-property CIM to OLE variant type mapping.
That's so ... Microsoftish.

Additional per-property variant type field?

Adjusting summary for big brother.
