Data type: __Provider

Remarks

The __ProviderRegistration class is derived from __SystemClass, which has no properties.

Instances of the __ProviderRegistration system class are never created. The classes that providers use to create instances for registration derive either directly or indirectly from this class. These classes are:

__ClassProviderRegistration

__EventConsumerProviderRegistration

__EventProviderRegistration

__InstanceProviderRegistration

__MethodProviderRegistration

__ObjectProviderRegistration

__PropertyProviderRegistration

Only administrators can register or delete a provider by creating an instance of __Win32Provider and registering it.
