You're probably correct, though it hasn't happened yet! Unfortunately,
my app chooses for them when its dependencies are missing or not
available at startup. Users are cordially notified about the reasons
for startup failure and are given suggestions to rectify things and try
again, along with an option to solicit user support about the
issue/incident.
The usual deterent about using my licensed apps is they're not free.
Otherwise, users can test drive them (with full functionality) for 30
days.
Since it's rare that WMI is NOT running, I'm just trying to accomodate
a solution that kicks in when/if the situation warrants. There's
absolutely nothing wrong with using WMI for my purposes; -That's why
it's there! When you right-click on My Computer and select 'Manage' the
Computer Management dialog opens. Expanding 'Services and Application'
and clicking on 'Services' brings up the list. Clicking on 'Windows
Management Instrumentation' displays the following description...
"Provides a common interface and object model to access management
information about operating system, devices, applications and
services. *If this service is stopped, most Windows-based software
will not function properly. If this service is disabled, any
services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start."
