CIM_OSVersionCheck class
The CIM_OSVersionCheck class specifies the versions of the operating system that can support a software element. The check can be run for a specific, minimum, maximum, or a range of operating system releases. To specify a specific operating system version, the minimum and maximum versions must be equal. To specify the minimum version, the minimum version only must be specified. To specify a maximum version, the maximum version only needs to be specified. To specify a range, both minimum and maximum versions must be specified.
The type of operating system is specified in the TargetOperatingSystem property of the owning software element. Details of the checks are compared with the corresponding details found in a CIM_OperatingSystem object referenced by a CIM_InstalledOS association for the CIM_ComputerSystem object that describes the environment. At least one CIM_OperatingSystem class must satisfy the details of the condition for the check to be satisfied. In other words, not all of the operating systems on the relevant computer system need to satisfy the condition. Also, the OSType property of the CIM_OperatingSystem class must match the type of the TargetOperatingSystem property.
Important
The DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force) CIM (Common Information Model) classes are the parent classes upon which WMI classes are built. WMI currently supports only the CIM 2.x version schemas.
The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all inherited properties. Properties are listed in alphabetic order, not MOF order.

Members
The CIM_OSVersionCheck class has these types of members:
Methods

| Invoke | Takes a particular action. Not implemented by WMI. |
Properties
The CIM_OSVersionCheck class has these properties.
-
Caption
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: Maxlen (64)
A short textual description of the subject.
This property is inherited from CIM_Check.
-
-
CheckID
-
Identifier used in conjunction with other keys to uniquely identify the check.
This property is inherited from CIM_Check.
-
CheckMode
-
-
Data type: boolean
-
Access type: Read-only
If TRUE, the condition is expected to exist in the environment. For example, a file is expected to be on a system, so the Invoke method should return TRUE.
If FALSE, the condition is not expected to exist. For example, a file is not on a system, so the Invoke method should return FALSE.
This property is inherited from CIM_Check.
