Windows XP 64-bit...where is wmiprvse.exe?

[Anthony LaMark]

Hi All,

I am running on a Windows XP 64-bit system and I am porting a 32-bit WMI
Event Provider to 64-bit. To debug the WMI Event Provider (in the 32-bit
environment), I attach the Visual Studio debugger to the wmiprvse.exe
process(s) to debug my code. On the 64-bit system, I have "Task Manager"
opened and have the "Show processes from all users" checked but do not see
wmiprvse.exe. So to be 100% sure, I have loaded CIM Studio (WMI Tool to
browse CIM repository(s)) and run it but still do not see wmiprvse.exe. Can
someone explain or point me to documentation on the process of debugging a
WMI Event Provider in the 64-bit operating systems?

Thanks in advance.

Tony

If it's any help, you can find it here x:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem. That is
the location of the 64bit exe. The 32bit one is in x:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\wbem

I have just checked my task manager, and I have the 64bit wmiprvse.exe
showing as running.
