Win32_EnvironmentSpecification class
The Win32_EnvironmentSpecification WMI class contains information about any environment variables that must be registered for their associated products 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.

Methods
The Win32_EnvironmentSpecification 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 nonabstract CIM_Check subclasses. |
Properties
The Win32_EnvironmentSpecification 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.
Description
Data type: string

Description of the object.
Environment
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Token name for the environment specification within its package.
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.
