Error in retrieving 'HardwareID' field from WMI query

[HolmesShelock]

My script goes like this:

$objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\localhost\root\CIMV2")
$wmiQuery = "SELECT * FROM Win32_PnPEntity WHERE Name LIKE '%(COM%)'"
$comPorts = $objWMIService.ExecQuery($wmiQuery, "WQL", 0)
For $comPort in $comPorts
    ConsoleWrite("Name:" & $comPort.Name & ", HardwareID: " & $comPort.HardwareID & @CRLF)
Next

The output is this:

 

Name:Device Diagnostic Interface (COM11), HardwareID: 

Name:Device Application Interface (COM12), HardwareID: 

Name:Device Pipe (COM10), HardwareID: 

 

The result returned by the same query triggered by WMIExplorer is this

As you can see. my code snippet can access 'Name' field but fails to retrieve the values for 'HardwareID' field. Where am I going wrong?

Look at the Win32_PnPEntity help page : the HardwareID flied is an array.

So try with this :

ConsoleWrite("Name:" & $Name & ", HardwareID: " & $HardwareID[0] & @CRLF)

Thanks a lot. I completely missed this part.
