can't start windows management services Can't install SQL Server E

J

Janis

I'm getting the error WMI windows management instructmentation module is not
installed when I
try to start windows management services.
WHEN I RUN
setup for SQL Server Express 2005. It says configuration checker cannot be
executed.
I try to start windows management services and it says could not start
windows management instrumentation service on local computer.
I searched for wmi.dll on my computer and I have it in
c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386
can I copy this file somewhere into the system so that it will start windows
management services?

Do you know if the .Net framework can be installed on Windows XP Pro or does
it need to be Windows XP professional?
I have Windows XP Service Pak 3.
thanks,

I'm having problems running the script.
I got the command line by typing cmd in "run"
I can't copy this whole script below and paste it in the command line.

I tried copying all of the script below to a notepad file and using the .vbs
extension.
I forget how to compile the script.
Am I supposed to run it in Wordpad instead of Notepad? I forget how to do it.

Where/how do I put this script?

thanks for your help.

That was an excellent try. I gave it the script the .bat extension and it
appeared to run properly. I even restarted Windows and turned on automatic
updates. It added 9 updates and it still doesn't turn on Windows Management
Instrumentation. The
error still said module not installed.
This is the exact script in the batch file and I got the correct batch file
icon:
net stop winmgmt

pause

c:

cd c:\windows\system32\wbem

rd /S /Q repository

regsvr32 /s %systemroot%\system32\scecli.dll

So it doesn't appear to have installed the WMI module.

Do you have another idea?

The exact error turning on WMI is
"Could not start the WMI instrumentation service on local computer

Well at this point I would pay the $29.00 if I was guarenteed it would work.

Exactly when are you getting the WMI error? What do you do exactly to
bring up the error?
Are you going to Control Panel> Administrative Tools> Services,
double-clicking the "Windows Management Instrumentation" service, and
clicking the Start button there? Or are you doing something else to
bring up the WMI error?

Also, please check that the folder "C:\ServicePackFiles\i386" exists on
the computer, assuming C: is your system drive letter.

You may need to set Folder Options to show all files,in order to find
the folder -

Janis,
Go to this web page (don't click any ads!) and scroll all the way to the
bottom of the page:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/repairwmi.htm

The last section is titled "Comprehensive rebuild method"

Follow the procedure there, and instead of inserting your Windows CD
(which is probably not slipstreamed to include SP3) when prompted, point
it to the "C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386" folder as the source for
the files it might need.

As explained on that page, you will click Start> Run, copy and paste the
following line into the Run box, then click OK:

rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection WBEM 132
%windir%\inf\wbemoc.inf

Point it to the "C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386" folder when prompted
for a file source. When it completes, restart Windows and see if it WMI
works.

Well this was a success sort of. I did what you said below


The last section is titled "Comprehensive rebuild method"

Follow the procedure there, and instead of inserting your Windows CD
(which is probably not slipstreamed to include SP3) when prompted, point
it to the "C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386" folder as the source for
the files it might need.
It did rebuild but then it wanted to copy some more files it couldn't find
and I had to click
continue even though it couldn't find them. Then it seemed like it didn't
know where to keep copying
the files from.

I did get WMI started but I installed SQL Server and it goes all the way
through the configuration checker with green lights but then sQL Server
starts and then crashes.
These are some of the files it couldn't find in the ServicePackFiles\i386
Should I run that command over again?
It gave me these error messages one at a time.
Errors: Setup canot copy the files
wmimgmt.msc in C:\Windows\SErvicePackFiles\i386
texttblw.xsl in C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386
htblsort.xsl in C: \Windows\...
smtpcons.dll in C:\Windows\...
Setup cannot copy the file fwdprov.dll from the
C:\Windwos\ServicePackFiles\i386


As explained on that page, you will click Start> Run, copy and paste the
following line into the Run box, then click OK:

Point it to the "C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386" folder when prompted

I ran through it again more carefully this time making sure it was copying
from the
right directory C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386
It rebuilded for awhile and then asked for the wmimgmt.msc file and then it
stopped.
I think the first time I did it above I tried to move the copy from path to
the system32 path
which i probably shouldn't have done so like I said I reran the whole
rebuild this time
doing it right.
Can I get the winmgmt.msc file somewhere?
I restarted several times.

It seems like it is almost there. I did a search for the file and it is in
C:\Windows\system32
can I copy it over to \i386?

Yeah, if you think the repair didn't complete because of that file, you
could probably copy wmimgmt.msc to \ServicePackFiles\i386 so the setup
can find it....although you might just be able to skip it since it is
already in \system32. I haven't had to do a repair like this myself, so
I can only guide you with probabilities, since no one else seems to have
anything to add yet.

Post back and let us know if there is any improvement.

That was an excellent try. I gave it the script the .bat
extension
and
it
appeared to run properly. I even restarted Windows and
turned
on
automatic
updates. It added 9 updates and it still doesn't turn on
Windows
Management
Instrumentation. The
error still said module not installed.
This is the exact script in the batch file and I got the
correct
batch
file
icon:
net stop winmgmt

pause

c:

cd c:\windows\system32\wbem

rd /S /Q repository

regsvr32 /s %systemroot%\system32\scecli.dll

regsvr32 /s %systemroot%\system32\userenv.dll

mofcomp cimwin32.mof

mofcomp cimwin32.mfl

mofcomp rsop.mof

mofcomp rsop.mfl

for /f %%s in ('dir /b /s *.dll') do regsvr32 /s %%s

for /f %%s in ('dir /b *.mof') do mofcomp %%s

for /f %%s in ('dir /b *.mfl') do mofcomp %%s

mofcomp exwmi.mof

mofcomp -n:root\cimv2\applications\exchange wbemcons.mof

mofcomp -n:root\cimv2\applications\exchange smtpcons.mof

mofcomp exmgmt.mof

So it doesn't appear to have installed the WMI module.

Do you have another idea?
thanks,

:

Save it from note pad as a batch file give it a .bat
extension.

I ran through it again more carefully this time making sure it was copying
from the
right directory C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386
It rebuilded for awhile and then asked for the wmimgmt.msc file and then
it

I think the first time I did it above I tried to move the copy from path
to
the system32 path
which i probably shouldn't have done so like I said I reran the whole

doing it right.
Can I get the winmgmt.msc file somewhere?
I restarted several times.

It seems like it is almost there. I did a search for the file and it is
in

can I copy it over to \i386?

Go to this web page (don't click any ads!) and scroll all the way to the

Follow the procedure there, and instead of inserting your Windows CD

it to the "C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386" folder as the source for

It moved past that one that was copied from windows32 but there were no more
to copy
in Windows32. There are quite a few missing. I kept going through the
rebuild even though they were missing. I wrote down the names of most of
them might have missed a few at the end. WMI starts but sQL Server crashes.
There was one missing module smtpcon.dll or something like that. It sounds
important.
I wonder if finding the windows service pack cd would help? Doesn't it have
all the modules from the downloaded service pack. Probably needs a reinstall
of the system but I don't have time right now.
missing did not get copied:
dsprov.mof
dsprov.mfl
wmitimep.dll
wimipicmp.dll
wmimsg.dll
wmicvalu.xsl
wmictfns.xsl
wmictfmt.xsl
wmicmoff.xsl
wmimgmtr.dll
winmgmt.exe
wbemdisp.tlb
wbemads.tlb
wbemads.dll
updprov.dll
unsecapp.exe
trnsprov.dll
that is most of them that are missing.
thanks for your help

glee said:
Yeah, if you think the repair didn't complete because of that file, you
could probably copy wmimgmt.msc to \ServicePackFiles\i386 so the setup
can find it....although you might just be able to skip it since it is
already in \system32. I haven't had to do a repair like this myself, so
I can only guide you with probabilities, since no one else seems to have
anything to add yet.

Post back and let us know if there is any improvement.

No you can't just stick in the service pack disc...you have to
slipstream the SP disc with the Windows XP disc to make a new disc. You
can use Autostreamer to do that.

Tutorial:
http://www.ubcd4win.com/slipstream.htm
As long as your XP CD includes at least SP1, you can slipstream SP3 into
it on a new disc. The tutorial describes SP2 but the process is the
same, just substitute SP3.

Autostreamer download is here:
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/System-Tweak/Autostreamer.shtml
or here:
http://www.ubcd4win.com/downloads/AutoStreamer.exe

Can't you specify the location to get each file during the repair you
tried? Only some of those files are in the ServicePackFiles folder, the
rest have to be gotten off the Window CD, or just have it look for them
in the Windows folder tree if they are already present. Actually, if
they are present in the Windows folder tree, you should be able to just
skip them when they come up.

Am I correct in understanding that WMI is working now? If so, that part
is done. I can't help you at all with the SQL Server installation or
crashes. Perhaps someone in the sqlserver.setup group you crossposted
this to can help...they have been silent so far....hopefully someone
will pop in.

It moved past that one that was copied from windows32 but there were
no more
to copy
in Windows32. There are quite a few missing. I kept going through
the
rebuild even though they were missing. I wrote down the names of most
of
them might have missed a few at the end. WMI starts but sQL Server
crashes.
There was one missing module smtpcon.dll or something like that. It
sounds
important.
I wonder if finding the windows service pack cd would help? Doesn't
it have
all the modules from the downloaded service pack. Probably needs a
reinstall
of the system but I don't have time right now.
missing did not get copied:
dsprov.mof
dsprov.mfl
wmitimep.dll
wimipicmp.dll
wmimsg.dll
wmicvalu.xsl
wmictfns.xsl
wmictfmt.xsl
wmicmoff.xsl
wmimgmtr.dll
winmgmt.exe
wbemdisp.tlb
wbemads.tlb
wbemads.dll
updprov.dll
unsecapp.exe
trnsprov.dll
that is most of them that are missing.
thanks for your help

Yeah, if you think the repair didn't complete because of that file,
you
could probably copy wmimgmt.msc to \ServicePackFiles\i386 so the
setup
can find it....although you might just be able to skip it since it is
already in \system32. I haven't had to do a repair like this myself,
so
I can only guide you with probabilities, since no one else seems to
have
anything to add yet.

Post back and let us know if there is any improvement.

I ran through it again more carefully this time making sure it was
copying
from the
right directory C:\Windows\i386
It rebuilded for awhile and then asked for the wmimgmt.msc file and
then it
stopped.
I think the first time I did it above I tried to move the copy from
path to
the system32 path
which i probably shouldn't have done so like I said I reran the
whole
rebuild this time
doing it right.
Can I get the winmgmt.msc file somewhere?
I restarted several times.

It seems like it is almost there. I did a search for the file and
it
is in
C:\Windows\system32
can I copy it over to \i386?

:

Janis,
Go to this web page (don't click any ads!) and scroll all the way
to
the
bottom of the page:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/repairwmi.htm

The last section is titled "Comprehensive rebuild method"

Follow the procedure there, and instead of inserting your Windows
CD
(which is probably not slipstreamed to include SP3) when prompted,
point
it to the "C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386" folder as the source
for
the files it might need.

As explained on that page, you will click Start> Run, copy and
paste
the
following line into the Run box, then click OK:

rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection WBEM 132
%windir%\inf\wbemoc.inf

Point it to the "C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386" folder when
prompted
for a file source. When it completes, restart Windows and see if
it
WMI
works.

Oh I did that also. I got the exact same results as the
picture.
There was only one dependency:RPCSS

start_Type :2 auto_start
error_control:0 ignore
binary_path_name:c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs

Sorry,

:

$29???? Oh for pete's sake! You clicked the advertisement at
the
top
of
the page! <sheesh>

Please scroll down, IGNORE all the ads...do NOT click on
them...
and
read the web page I linked, then run the command from Start>
Run,
and
post back with the results, compared to the correct output as
shown
on
the web page I linked.

Start, Run:

The exact error turning on WMI is
"Could not start the WMI instrumentation service on local
computer
error 126: The specified module could not be found.

Well at this point I would pay the $29.00 if I was guarenteed
it
would
work.
I tried the scan:
The output was 5802 new errors.
379 shared dlls
38 application paths
642 file extensions
440 uninstall entires
4023 com and active x controls
25 mru lists
255 fonts

Thanks,
:

Try this and report back with the output it returns:
Unable to start the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)
service?
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/winmgmt.htm


What is the exact wording of your WMI error...word for word,
please.

That was an excellent try. I gave it the script the .bat
extension
and
it
appeared to run properly. I even restarted Windows and
turned
on
automatic
updates. It added 9 updates and it still doesn't turn on
Windows
Management
Instrumentation. The
error still said module not installed.
This is the exact script in the batch file and I got the
correct
batch
file
icon:
net stop winmgmt

pause

c:

cd c:\windows\system32\wbem

rd /S /Q repository

regsvr32 /s %systemroot%\system32\scecli.dll

regsvr32 /s %systemroot%\system32\userenv.dll

mofcomp cimwin32.mof

mofcomp cimwin32.mfl

mofcomp rsop.mof

mofcomp rsop.mfl

for /f %%s in ('dir /b /s *.dll') do regsvr32 /s %%s

for /f %%s in ('dir /b *.mof') do mofcomp %%s

for /f %%s in ('dir /b *.mfl') do mofcomp %%s

mofcomp exwmi.mof

mofcomp -n:root\cimv2\applications\exchange wbemcons.mof

mofcomp -n:root\cimv2\applications\exchange smtpcons.mof

mofcomp exmgmt.mof

So it doesn't appear to have installed the WMI module.

Do you have another idea?
thanks,

:

Save it from note pad as a batch file give it a .bat
extension.

I'm having problems running the script.
I got the command line by typing cmd in "run"
I can't copy this whole script below and paste it in

I tried copying all of the script below to a notepad

using
the

I forget how to compile the script.
Am I supposed to run it in Wordpad instead of Notepad?
I

Where/how do I put this script?
