Hi Daniel,

I think it is this version which causes the error:

windows            1.31.0

I guess I can install wmi-lite on my chef workstation and change the 
dependency in the windows cookbook?

Cheers,

Simon

What cookbook is this from? I seem to remember that chef-client used to 
include ruby-wmi when installing on windows, but we had some problems with it 
(something about it not working with certain ruby versions) and weren’t using 
most of the features so we wrote a replacement for just the features we 
needed: https://github.com/chef/wmi-lite
