Problem updating the properties of a new SWbemLocator object.

I'm trying to convert the following VB code to KIX. It's actually to automate the creation of a SMS package within SMS 2.0 but I'm guessing it would apply anywhere:

code:

Set objWbemLocator 	= CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
Set SMSConnection 	= objWbemLocator.ConnectServer("SERVERNAME","Root\sms\site_XXX")

Set instPackage = SMSConnection.Get("SMS_Package").SpawnInstance_

instPackage.Description = "Office 2000 installation"
instPackage.Manufacturer = "Microsoft"
instPackage.Name = "Office 2000"

instPackage.Put_ 0, SMSContext

I've got this far, but I can't work out what I'm doing wrong with the PUT_

code:

$oWBEMLoc=CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
$oWBEMSrv=$oWBEMLoc.ConnectServer("SERVERNAME", "root\SMS\site_XXX")
$oNewPackage=$oWBEMSrv.Get("SMS_Package").SpawnInstance_

$oNewPackage.Description = "Office 2000 installation"
$oNewPackage.Manufacturer = "Microsoft"
$oNewPackage.Name = "Office 2000"

$=$oNewPackage.Put_(0, "SMSContext")

Can anyone point out where I'm going wrong - it's stumped me ;-(

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	No, I couldn't work out from where that came. The original script is actually full VB - see the following link from MSDN: Creating a Package and Programs Using SMS Classes I looked a little closer at PUT_ SWbemObject.Put_ and it talks about this either being blank, or being a value name from a provider that is servicing this request. It seems to work without the rest of the PUT_ code: $=$oNewPackage.Put_ but I wonder if it's not actually really doing what I ask it to...

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	OK so you were right, the constant was missing. This is the line of code I missed off: code: Dim SMSContext As New SWbemNamedValueSet SMSContext.Add "LocaleID", "MS\1033" SMSContext.Add "MachineName", "MyMachine" SMSContext.Add "ApplicationName", "MyApp" How would I create an array as SWbemNamedValueSet and add my own values? Thanks in advance

SpongeBobSquarePants SpongeBobSquarePants Lurker Registered: 2002-03-24 Posts: 3 Loc: UnderSea	To create your contexts, how about: $SMSContext = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemNamedValueSet") $SMSContext.Add("LocaleID", "MS\1033") $SMSContext.Add("MachineName", "MyMachine") $SMSContext.Add("ApplicationName", "MyApp") Just a wild quess from the spongster.
