Check out WIN32OLE_PARAM.ole_type for the general idea.

Chuck,

Thanks for the response. I looped through each to print out the ole_type
and got the following:

VirtualSystemDescription,VirtualSystemDescription
BSTR,BSTR
BSTR,BSTR
BSTR,BSTR

I'm not sure why there are two for each? Besides that, do these types
mean something useful for the refs (for arrays)?

I don't really know how to deal with the VirtualSystemDescription but at least we know the BSTR maps to VT_BSTR in WIN32OLE::VARIANT. That's a good start.

So for BSTR use WIN32OLE::VARIANT::BSTR and for VirtualSystemDescription try WIN32OLE::VARIANT::VT_VARIANT. See what happens when you invoke the method with that argument list.
