WMI Queries in C?

Is it possible to issue WMI WQL queries in plain C? And if yes, how?

+1  A: 

You can use any programming language that you want as long as you can call into the COM API for WMI.

A: 

It looks like you can do this sort of thing by using ExecQuery(), though this example is in C++. BTW this guy couldn't get it to work, but you may check out what he's doing.

Hope this helps.
