Problem getting SMS_CIContentFiles Instance
Hello,
   I am working on building patch package automatically. One of the things I am trying to get is the SourceURL property from the SMS_CIContentFiles object for a specific update. I am running into a problem however when attempting to get an instance of the object.

Here are the following steps I have taken:
1) Open WBEMTest and connect to the SMS Provider.
2) Click Open Instance
3) Enter SMS_CIContentFiles.ContentID=9712 (for example, any ContentID will work).

Upon doing this I receive an "Invalid Object Path" error message. According to the SDK docs, the ContentID field is a key so this should work as far as I know. Using a WQL search works fine (SELECT * FROM SMS_CIContentFiles WHERE ContentID=9712). Has anyone else run into this issue before? I know it is rather minor, but it is just a little cleaner code to get a instance instead of performing a query and looping the resultset. I can get an instance of a SMS_SoftwareUpdatesPackage object using the PackageID key, that works fine. I am just puzzeled as to why it is not working on the SMS_CIContentFiles class.

Thanks for any help!
