[Bug 9818] New: Programs that use WMI objects don't work

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9818

Summary: Programs that use WMI objects don't work
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-kernel
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

In Windows, programs can use wmi object to gain information to certain statics
about the processor, and so on. Information from "/proc/cpuinfo" (in Linux) and
so on need to be used to mimic wmi object output that Windows uses. At the very
least, wine should give an output of 0's when wmi objects are retrieved, so
that the program doesn't crash.

Using Wine 0.9.43

Hello,

I tested native WMI core some time ago, with mixed results.
Maybe you ran into one of these issues.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7187
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7920

If you encounter a specific crash/problem not mentioned, give more details.
Specific the app download and provide bug trace.

In general I don't see the task of implementing WMI/core providers as short
term goal .. maybe in the long run.

Regards
