Could not obtain full operation system name due to internal error

Could not obtain full operation system name due to internal error. This might be caused by WMI not existing on the current machine.

A call to the My.Computer.Info.OSFullName property failed. A possible cause for this failure is if Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is not installed on the current computer.

To correct this error

  1. Add a Try...Catch block around the call to the My.Computer.Info.OSFullName property.

  2. For more information about WMI and how to install it, go to and search for "Windows Management Instrumentation Core".
