The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142) ???

Hi there..

I get this error when trying to invoke a remote process on a client.

I am sending the remote command via the Win32_Process.Create method using a ManagementObject

I think that this is due to the fact that the EXE resides on the network and that I am performing a 'Double Hop' with my credentials.

1st Hop (credentials passed) - connect into remote WMI namespace
2nd Hop (credentials not passed) - invoke the EXE from a share.

Can anyone help out here? the code that I am using is as below:

	Dim coptions As New ConnectionOptions
        Dim scope As New ManagementScope(New ManagementPath("\\" & Host & "\root\cimv2"), coptions)

        coptions.Authentication = AuthenticationLevel.Default
        coptions.EnablePrivileges = True
        coptions.Impersonation = ImpersonationLevel.Impersonate
        coptions.Username = "Domain\Username"
        coptions.Password = "myPassword"
        scope.Options = coptions

   	'Command at this stage is something like \\server\share\exename.exe /silent

        Try
            scope.Connect()
            Dim processPath As New ManagementPath("Win32_Process")
            Dim processClass As New ManagementClass(scope, processPath, New ObjectGetOptions(context))
            Dim inParams As ManagementBaseObject = processClass.GetMethodParameters("Create")
            Command = Mid(Command, 1, Len(Command) - 1)
            inParams("Commandline") = "cmd /c " & QUOTE & Command & QUOTE
            Console.WriteLine(inParams("CommandLine"))

            Dim outParams As ManagementBaseObject = processClass.InvokeMethod("Create", inParams, Nothing)
            Console.WriteLine(outParams("ReturnValue"))

        Catch e As Exception
            Console.WriteLine("Failed to connect: " + e.Message)
        End Try
