WMI Win32_Printer not working on XP Embedded

I have some code which works on a standard XP system, but fails on XP Embedded test machine.

I get System.Management.ManagementException : Provider Load Failure

Here is my code:

    string query = "Select * From Win32_Printer";
    ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(query);
    Manage开发者_运维知识库mentObjectCollection results = searcher.Get();

Are there services to start or DLL's to register?

Please, help me find the answer!

Thanks in advance, Flea

You must check wich the System.Management.Instrumentation.dll library is properly registered.
