Answer 1

You can use the COM interface to use WMI from pure C applications. WMI COM Reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa389276(VS.85).aspx

Answer 2

Using OLE you resolves instance of class ManagementClass and follow resolving all other interfaces. Also (if you use MSVC compiler) you can use #import directive to expose expected dll

Look at this sample on msdn: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa392093(VS.85).aspx
