WbemErrorEnum enumeration (wbemdisp.h)

  • Article

The WbemErrorEnum constants define the errors that may be returned by Scripting API for WMI calls.

The WMI scripting type library Wbemdisp.tlb defines these constants. Visual Basic applications can access this library; script languages must use the value of the constant directly, unless they use the Windows Script Host (WSH) XML file format. For more information, see Using the WMI Scripting Type Library.

Other languages may have different names for these values, see WMI Error Constants and WBEMSTATUS.

An internal, critical, and unexpected error occurred. Report this error to Microsoft Technical
Support.
wbemErrInvalidStream
Value: 0x8004100b
One or more network packets were corrupted during a remote session.
wbemErrNotSupported
Value: 0x8004100c
The feature or operation is not supported.
wbemErrInvalidSuperclass
Value: 0x8004100d

A provider referenced in the schema does not have a corresponding registration.
wbemErrInvalidProviderRegistration
Value: 0x80041012
A provider referenced in the schema has an incorrect or incomplete registration. This error may be caused by
a missing pragma namespace command in the MOF file used to
register the provider, resulting in the provider being registered in the wrong WMI namespace. This error may also
be caused by a corrupt repository, which may be fixed by deleting it and recompiling the MOF files.
wbemErrProviderLoadFailure
Value: 0x80041013
COM cannot locate a provider referenced in the schema. This error may be caused by any of the following:

The provider is using a WMI DLL that does not match the .lib fileused when the provider was built.

The provider's DLL or any of the DLLs on which it depends is corrupt.

The provider failed to export
DllRegisterServer.

An in-process provider was not registered using /regsvr32.
