I used to play with wbemtest . Nice tool . Interestingly that it has help button only in Windows XP version .
Also an ancient WMI SDK was available for downloading in MS download center some time ago . It has documentation , examples and tools (they're all HTA apps).
It seems like WMI has some superpowers and worth an attention and additional efforts to access it from asm code .
Edgar (Donkey) has done a lot of work with WMI and COM
you can search the old forum

even though Edgar likes GoAsm syntax, the headers may prove useful
he may also have some WMI related projects

the easy fix for UAC is to tell the user to "Run As Administrator" :P
there is also some manifest stuff concerning UAC
