QCoreApplication QApplication with WMI

I found some WMI C++ Application Examples in MSDN website.

I have tried the code form the below link

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa390423%28v=VS.85%29.aspx

when I copied and run the application as win32 console application it worked well.

the same code I put into the Qt application ,

When I use QApplication anApplication ( argc, argv ); in my code it is not working

But if I use QCoreApplication anApplication ( argc, argv ); it is working

shows me error like "when i change QCoreApplication to QApplication The below source code not works and gives me error like " Failed to initialize COM library. Error code = 0x80010106 "

Any suggestions or help

The error you are receiving is due to the fact that COM is already initialized. QApplication calls OleInitialize in its constructor, but QCoreApplication does not, so that's why you get the error 0x80010106 (RPC_E_CHANGED_MODE) when you use QApplication. For further reading, see the documentation for CoInitializeEx. The following article should provide more insight.
