WMI Query Paths Need Double Backslashes
Keywords: WMI WQL Query Backslash Paths
Question:
I am playing around with WMI today. For a longest time, I couldn’t get this query to work.
colFiles = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("SELECT * FROM Win32_PageFileUsage WHERE Name = 'C:\pagefile.sys'")
Any Ideas?
Answer:
The problem is how you are specifying the Path! You will need to use double back slash instead of single back slash. The correct query should look like this:
colFiles = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("SELECT * FROM Win32_PageFileUsage WHERE Name = 'C:\\pagefile.sys'")
Note the use of single quotes to specify strings and double backslashes in place of each backslash. These are
required conventions of WMI.
