Win32_ClassInfoAction class

  • Article

The Win32_ClassInfoAction WMI class manages the registration of COM class information with the system. In the Advertise mode, the action registers all COM classes for which the corresponding feature is enabled. Otherwise, the action registers COM classes for which the corresponding feature is currently selected to be installed.

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_ClassInfoAction class has these methods.

Method Description
Invoke Takes a particular action. The details of how the method performs the action are implementation-specific.

Properties

The Win32_ClassInfoAction class has these properties.

ActionID

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Unique identifier assigned to a particular action for a software element.

AppID

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Application identifier that contains COM information for the associated application (string GUID)

Argument

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Registered argument against the OLE server, used by OLE for invoking the server. The property is optional when the Context property is set to the LocalServer or LocalServer32 server context.

Caption

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Short textual description (one line) of the object.

CLSID

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Class identifier of a COM server.

Context

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Server context for this server. Values are:

"LocalServer"

"LocalServer32"

"InprocServer"

"InprocServer32"

DefInprocHandler

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Default in-process handler. May be optionally provided only when the Context property is LocalServer or LocalServer32. A nonnumeric value is treated as a system file that serves as the 32-bit InprocHandler (appearing as the InprocHandler32 value).

Value Meaning
1
 16-bit InprocHandler (appearing as the InprocHandler value)
2
 32-bit InprocHandler (appearing as the InprocHandler32 value)
3
 16-bit as well as 32-bit InprocHandlers

Description

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Description of the object.

Direction

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Whether a particular CIM_Action object is part of a sequence of actions to transition the current software element to its next state (Install) or to remove the current software element (Uninstall).

Value Meaning
1
 Install
2
 Uninstall

FileTypeMask

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Information for the HKey Classes Root (this CLSID) key. If multiple patterns exist, they must be delimited by semicolons, and numeric subkeys are generated: 0, 1, 2.

Insertable

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Object is insertable.

Value Meaning
0
 TRUE
1
 FALSE

Name

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Name used to identify the software element.

ProgID

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Default program identifier associated with the class identifier.

RemoteName

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Name used remotely for the server.

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.

Value Meaning
1
 Deployable
2
 Installable
3
 Executable
4
 Running

TargetOperatingSystem
