Hi. I am trying to have a event watcher task monitor for when a specific file gets added to a directory on my windows 7 Enterprise machine 64bit (local). I am also running SQL SERVER 2008 R2 64bit version locally. The WQL statement is
Select * from _InstanceCreationEvent within 30
where targetinstance isa "CIM_DataFile"
and targetinstance.name="C:\\adventureworks.bak"
I get the following error when I run the package>
[WMI Event Watcher Task] Error: Watching for the Wql query caused the following system exception: "Invalid class". Check the query for errors or WMI connection for access rights/permissions.
The task is all I have in my package and it is supposed to trigger an event when a file get added to the directory (that event calls another package on my local file system). As I am not that familiar with WQL can someone tell me why this is not working as expected? What is a good resource to learn WQL as I did not find much with a Internet search.
Thank you

Would love to help but I have always done this sort of thing through a C# script task in the package. It just looks at a directory and sees if the file is there. If it exists then sets a package variable to true and the next step is accessed by a precedence constraint that say previous task is successful and the variable = true.

Thanks Ells. I will try that suggestion, using a script task with a variable. I was just curious if there was some issue with the query I have and why it errors. It looks fine to me syntax wise. I am thinking it has something to do with the version of Windows I am using, just my guess.

Konesans have a File Watcher custom component. Perhaps you could give that a try?

Thanks for your responses. I am also looking for a good resource on WQL, if anyone has any suggestions.
Thanks.
