Win32_SoftwareFeature vbscript sample code

The foundations for Manageability in Windows is Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI; formerly WBEM) and WMI extensions for Windows Driver Model (WDM).

ActiveXperts Network Monitor provides the ability to build monitor check routines based on WMI. ActiveXperts has collected more than a hundred WMI samples. You can use these samples as a base for new check routines you can write yourself. The Win32_SoftwareFeature WMI class can be used in ActiveXperts Network Monitor to monitor your servers.

Description

The Win32_SoftwareFeature WMI class represents a distinct subset of a product, consisting of one or more software elements. Each software element is defined in a Win32_SoftwareElement instance, and the association between a feature and its Win32_SoftwareFeature instance is defined in the Win32_SoftwareFeatureSoftwareElements association class. Any component can be shared between two or more Win32_SoftwareFeature instances. If two or more features reference the same component, that component is selected for installation if any of these features are selected.
