Win32_Condition class

The Win32_Condition WMI class represents the criteria used to determine the selection state of any entry in the Win32_SoftwareFeature class, based on a conditional expression. If Win32_Condition evaluates to True, the corresponding feature is installed at the level specified by the Level property. Using this mechanism, any feature can be permanently disabled (by setting Level to 0 [zero]), set to be always installed (by setting Level to 1), or set to a different install priority (by setting Level to an intermediate value). The level may be determined based upon any conditional statement, such as a test for platform, operating system, a particular property setting, and so on.

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.

Members

The Win32_Condition class has these types of members:

  • Methods
  • Properties

Methods

The Win32_Condition 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_Condition 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

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.

Condition

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Conditional statement that evaluates to TRUE or FALSE to determine whether the Level value should be applied to the associated software feature.

Description

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Description of the object.

Feature

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Name of the feature within the associated product to which this condition applies.

Level

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Install level for the associated software feature if Condition evaluates to TRUE.

Name

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Name used to identify the software element.

SoftwareElementID

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Identifier for the software element.

SoftwareElementState

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

State of a software element.
