WMI task and WQL query

    Hi don't know if this helps but I decided to keep things simple and used a VB script to build a variable to pass into wmi

    Query = "SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WITHIN 10 WHERE TargetInstance ISA " _

    & """CIM_DirectoryContainsFile"" AND TargetInstance.GroupComponent = ""Win32_Directory.Name=\""" _

    & Folder & "\"""""

    Albeit - I have a single folder variable this is working quite happily - although I haven't yet tried it on 64 bit. Probably irrelevant - but do you have Run64BitRuntime set to False?

    Regards

    Yes I have it set to False. I had to do that so the package would work without the Event Watcher Task.

    Hi opc.three I will review the link you sent thanks. So far nothing I have tried has worked. I asked our IS to look into it but I have not received any feedback yet and we have to get permission before we can use a third party tool.

    You may need elevated permissions to attach to the specific WMI event being used. When you launch Visual Studio, do you select "Run as Administrator"?
