[Bug 22937] New: WBEM / WMI not implemented

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22937

Summary: WBEM / WMI not implemented
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Wine is currently missing an WBEM / WMI implementation.

IWbemLocator::ConnectServer() is stubbed and returns WBEM_E_FAILED.

As part of a host-locking algorithm my application (we all have to pay our
rent) tries to connect to \.\ROOT\CIMV2, executes the WQL command

"SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem"

and looks for the "SerialNumber" property there, which is among the information
used to generate a host-key which is later matched against the entered
license-key.

Obviously this fails at the first step, causing my application to refuse to
start.

Although this can be categorized as a copy-protection issue I'm not doing any
dirty tricks here - just using a perfectly normal, documented interface to
query some information about the system (which could be implemented in wine
without problems by simply generating a random SerialNumber during initial
registry setup or something).

So much for the bug-report - I realize this is nothing new but I couldn't find
anything in bugzilla and this might after all affect other applications too
(searching the net you find quite some fixme stubs from
wbem_locator_ConnectServer).

I also realize that implementing WBEM is not an easy task done over the
weekend. :-)

Elven Legacy (and all of its expansions) shows a warning dialogue when
starting:

'WMI:pIWbemLocator->ConnectServer failed: 0x80041001'

However, the error is not fatal, you can continue loading the game up. Probably
because of the lacking implementation of the WMI infrastructure, the game
doesn't detect the amount of video memory correctly (it always sticks to 128 Mb
installed).

Wine-1.2

OnLive's client seems to suffer from this (once you get past an ioctl problem):
