As per the error message it appears that the win32_process class is not installed or corrupted on the machine. In order to narrow down the issue we created and execute the C# console application using the steps outline below:
Create Project:
Create a project (WMITest) which targets 3.5 Framework on a machine that has VS 2015/2017 already installed and build it.
Source Code:
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;
using System.Management;
using System.Reflection;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Start");
var processName = Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetName().Name;
Console.WriteLine($"Process Name: {processName}");
var directory = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location);
Console.WriteLine($"Directory Name: {directory}");
var parentProcessFullPath = GetParentProcess().MainModule.FileName;
Console.WriteLine(parentProcessFullPath);
Console.WriteLine("End");
}
internal static Process GetParentProcess()
{
Console.WriteLine($"Enter GetParentProcess");
int Id = Process.GetCurrentProcess().Id;
Console.WriteLine($"Current ProcessId {Id}");
try
{
using (ManagementObject mo = new ManagementObject("win32_process.handle='" + Id + "'"))
{
mo.Get();
Console.WriteLine($"Parent Id: {mo["ParentProcessId"]}");
int parentPid = Convert.ToInt32(mo["ParentProcessId"]);
Console.WriteLine($"Parent Id (Int): {parentPid}");
return Process.GetProcessById(parentPid);
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Message {ex.Message} Exception {ex.StackTrace}");
return null;
}
}
}
}
The output of the above application (WMITest.Exe) execution (run from an admin cmd prompt):
Start
Process Name: WMITest
Directory Name: c:\WMITest\
Enter GetParentProcess
Current ProcessId 1536
Message Invalid class Exception at System.Management.ManagementException.ThrowWithExtendedInfo(ManagementStatus errorCode)
at System.Management.ManagementObject.Get()
Here are the steps to resolve the issue (Reference: WMI: Missing or Failing WMI Providers or Invalid WMI Class):
1. Go to start-run and type in wmimgmt.msc
2. Right click on Local Wmi Control (Local)and select properties
3. Click on the Security tab and expand Root folder. This is where you will see all of the namespace listed for WMI
4. Select the cimv2 namespace as pointed below:
5. If you find the namespace is missing, do the following, otherwise skip to step 6 if the namespace is listed
a. From the command prompt with administrative rights or elevated privileges change directory to C:\Windows\System32\Wbem and run the following command: mofcomp.exe CimWin32.mof
b. For re-registering associated .dll if one exists use following command: regsvr32 CIMWin32.dll
c. Restart the Windows Management Instrumentation Service
d. Go to start-run and type in wmimgmt.msc
e. Right click on Local Wmi Control (Local)and select properties
f. Click on the Security tab and expand Root folder. You can now see cimv2.
6. Create a system restore point (Steps: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17127/windows-back-up-restore)
7. Execute the console application if there is no error, exit.
a. From the command prompt with administrative rights or elevated privileges, execute the following steps and execute the following this: net stop winmgmt
b. Open a Windows Explorer and locate the path to C:\windows\system32\WBEM\ folder and rename the Repository folder to something else like RepositoryOLD (right click and choose 'Rename Folder').
c. restart the computer
d. From the command prompt with administrative rights or elevated privileges, execute the following steps and execute the following this: net stop winmgmt
e. From the command prompt with administrative rights or elevated privileges, execute the following steps and execute the following this: winmgmt /resetRepository
f. restart the computer.
8. Run the c# console app(WMITest.Exe) again. If it executes successfully, then start the VS 2017 Setup. It should resolve the issue.
