I very much want to find a download of CIM Studio.
If one Googles enough, one discovers that CIM Studio is now part of the WMI Administrative Tools and one finds a link identical or similar to:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=6430F853-1120-48DB-8CC5-F2ABDC3ED314
If one follows that link, one is redirected to a politely apologetic page explaining that the requested page is now gone and offers a Bing search using the appropriate keywords. The VERY FIRST link offered by Bing is the identical Microsoft link which fails.
EDIT: The above link now works properly again, but successfully running CIM Studio on Windows 7+ is not straight-forward.
Anyone know how to properly install CIM Studio?

Since it took me a bit to learn these nuances of getting WMI CIM Studio to run under Windows 7 or Windows 8 and IE11 (IE9 or later), I thought I'd share it here...
Install CIM Studio (WMI Administrative Tools, as indicated in @knb's answer)
Add <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" /> into the <HEAD> section ahead of SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBS" in the C:\Program Files (x86)\WMI Tools\studio.htm file. This override is necessary because CIM Studio uses VBScript code and IE11+ has dropped support for that.
Create a shortcut to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\WMI Tools\studio.htm"
Configure the shortcut to run as Admin (Properties -> Advanced...)
Another option is to use Microsoft WMI Code Creator instead.
