Hi All,

Background:

My company provides solutions that utilize WMI Event Providers we wrote and
also a library of WSH scripts (written primarily in JScript but also uses
some VBScript via WSF technology) that utilize COM objects we also wrote.
The WMI Event Providers and the COM objects are written in C++.

Goal:

We want to move to 64-bit Windows.

Questions:

1. Does WMIPRVSE.EXE run in 64-bit mode?
2. If yes to question 1, then can I safely assume I can port the wmi event
providers to 64-bit?
3. Does CSCRIPT.EXE run in 64-bit mode?
4. If yes to question 3, then can I safely assume I can port the COM
objects used in our scripts library to 64-bit?

Any other thoughts regarding the above topics would be greatly appreciated.

Thank in advance,
Tony

There are both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of both of these programs on x64
Edition.

Hi Charlie,

Great and thanks for such a quick response. Can you recommend some urls
that would give me details on how to utilize/invoke 64-bit cscript and WMI?
For example, is there a #pragma in the WMI MOF and is there a flag I can
pass to cscript.

Thanks again!

Not off the top of my head. Google MSDN for it. On the cscript, it's easy.
You'll always get the 64-bit one, since it's first in your path, unless you
explicitly invoke the full path to the 32-bit one by calling
%windir%\SysWOW64\cscript.exe.
