title: Anyone know how to use WMI with C instead of C++?
body: <p>I'd hate to have to relearn C++ just for this! Any libraries/URLs would be great and yes, Google didn't help much here :-( </p>
  
  <p>This is for an upcoming project in which my product (Java based) would provide support for Microsoft's Hyper-V virtualization platform. Unlike VMware, which provides a Web-service, the Hyper-V APIs are mere extensions of WMI. I'd prefer not to use commercial tools such as J-Integra for Java integration into COM/WMI and the few open source tools I found are way outdated.</p>
  
  <p>I would rather use JNI with C than C++. Anybody know where I can find libraries et cetera for using C for WMI operations? In the same vein as Python clients can be used? (And yes, I know C is not an OOP language :D ).</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
