How to register for WMI events using Java

1k views Asked by At

I am integrating window based application with java application and want to capture window events in java.

I found in google J-Interop is the library thorugh this can be achived. i did some POC wih below code but facing issue while locating the service i.e WbemScripting.SWbemLocator

import java.io.IOException;

This is the clue:

"If this exception is being thrown from the WinReg package, please check if the library is registered properly or do so using regsvr32."

It seems the necessary library of your Windows application is not properly registered yet. From the command prompt (in admin mode), you can use regsvr32 to do that:

regsvr32 yourlib.dll
