When executing the following code, the searcher.Get() throws an exception "Not Supported". Even when running as admin the problem persists. This is compiled with VS 2010. The exception happens on XP, Win7 and Win8.1. Any ideas??

 ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("root\\WMI", "SELECT * FROM MSSerial_PortName");
 foreach (ManagementObject queryObj in searcher.Get())
 {
 }

In the machine where the exception is raised exists at least one COM port installed? – RRUZ Apr 09 '14 at 15:13

Why would you downvote this question?? – edtheprogrammerguy Aug 08 '14 at 14:03
The comments suggest that there is a WMI query that would detect the presence of serial ports in a safe way before this query gives their names. Someone want to do some research and provide a nice answer? – Peter T. LaComb Jr. Apr 22 '16 at 20:51
