This problem is irrelevant to "CoInitializeEx(0, COINIT_MULTITHREADED)". (There is a possibility of operating by chance.)

The problem is dependence on "CoInitializeSecurity" that cannot be used two times or more.

Therefore, the problem that "ExecQuery" fails when "CoInitializeSecurity" has already been used happens. (Please refer to the following reproduction code.)

Solving it by using both "CoInitializeSecurity" and "CoSetProxyBlanket" is correct.

Reproduction code

#include <iostream>
#include <Windows.h>
#include <boost/interprocess/detail/win32_api.hpp>
int main() {
        ::CoInitialize(NULL);
        ::CoInitializeSecurity(
                NULL,
                -1,
                NULL,
                NULL,
                RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_CONNECT,
                RPC_C_IMP_LEVEL_IDENTIFY,
                NULL,
                EOAC_NONE,
                NULL);
        std::string str;
        const bool result = boost::interprocess::winapi::get_last_bootup_time(str);
        const char * const boolean[2] = {"true", "false"};
        std::cout << boolean[result ? 0 : 1] << ":" << str << std::endl; // => "false:Select LastBootUpTime from Win32_OperatingSystem"
        return 0;
}

status new → closed
resolution → fixed

Fixed in trunk, thanks for the patch. From 1.48, use of WMI is disabled, but I would be grateful if someone could enable it again uncommentting

#define BOOST_INTERPROCESS_HAS_WINDOWS_KERNEL_BOOTTIME

#define BOOST_INTERPROCESS_HAS_KERNEL_BOOTTIME

#include <boost/interprocess/detail/win32_api.hpp>

in detail/tmp_dir_helpders.hpp

so that we can enable it again.
