I saw the 2nd dependency but wasn't aware of the DCOM SPL.

Can you elaborate on how to make it work remotely?

I already give notifications at startup if any dependencies are missing
whether they be files, COM components, or OS Services. Anything I can
do at this point would be done as per users selecting "YES" to a
prompt.
In those rare cases where I might find WMI not running I would only
enable it for my app's runtime, and restore its state at shutsdown. In
most cases I would just use it at startup for license validation, and
so could restore it when that process no longer requires access.
In light of the additional info you provide here I'll have to check the
dependency services as well and include them as required. Would this be
necessary, though, if using WMI remotely?
