Win32_ProgIDSpecification class

The Win32_ProgIDSpecification WMI class represent any programmatic identifier (ProgID) that must be registered during a given installation.

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.

Syntax

class Win32_ProgIDSpecification : CIM_Check
{
  string  Caption;
  string  CheckID;
  boolean CheckMode;
  string  Description;
  string  Name;
  string  Parent;
  string  ProgID;
  string  SoftwareElementID;
  uint16  SoftwareElementState;
  uint16  TargetOperatingSystem;
  string  Version;
};

Properties

Methods

The Win32_ProgIDSpecification class has these methods.

Method	Description
Invoke	Evaluates a particular check. The details of how the method evaluates a particular check in a CIM context are described by the non-abstract CIM_Check subclasses.

Properties

The Win32_ProgIDSpecification class has these properties.

Caption

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Short textual description of the object.

CheckID

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Identifier used in conjunction with other keys to uniquely identify the check.

CheckMode

Data type: boolean
Access type: Read-only

Whether the condition is expected to exist in the environment. When TRUE, the condition is expected to exist (for example, a file is expected to be on a system), so the Invoke method is expected to return TRUE.

Description

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Description of the object.

Name

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Name used to identify the software element.

Parent

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Program identifier for any version-independent programs.

ProgID

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Programmatic identifier.

SoftwareElementID

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Identifier for the software element.
