Win32_BindImageAction class

Applies to: desktop apps only

The Win32_BindImageAction WMI class binds each executable file that must be bound to the DLLs imported by it. The files are bound by computing the virtual address of each function imported from all DLLs. The computed virtual address is then saved in the importing image's Import Address Table (IAT). The action works on each file installed locally.

Note For more information about support or requirements for installation on a specific operating system, see Operating System Availability of WMI Components.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all inherited properties. Properties and methods are in alphabetic order, not MOF order.
