Windows 11 WMIC support

Some Windows 11 systems do not have wmic preinstalled.
If you see an error like wmic is not recognized..., run the script from the repository (or extracted zip) root:

• Command Prompt: cmd\install-wmic-if-missing.bat
• PowerShell: .\cmd\install-wmic-if-missing.bat

The script detects whether wmic is missing and installs the Windows capability WMIC~~~~0.0.1.0 automatically (administrator permission required). If started without administrator privileges, it will prompt for UAC elevation automatically.
