WMI Config Error Installing SQL2K5 Standard Edition

[Eric]

I am dealing with a WMI error that completely prevents me from
installing SQL 2005 on my system.

Almost as soon as I start to install SQL 2005 on my Windows XP Pro
Version 2002 Service Pack 2 machine at work it pops up a dialog with
one of the following 2 error messages (they alternate randomly):

The SQL Server System Configuration Checker cannot be executed due to
WMI configuration on the machine PCF092191 Error:2147500034
(0x80004002).

The SQL Server System Configuration Checker cannot be executed due to
WMI configuration on the machine PCF092191 Error:2147749907
(0x80041013).

After clicking OK the installation just closes.

I also discovered when I load wmimgmt.msc and click Properties on the
WMI Control, I get the following errors on the General tab, AND it
does not allow me to click on any other tabs:

Failed to initialize all required WMI classes.
Win32_Processor: <Null>: No such interface supported
Win32_WMISetting: Successful
Security information: Successful
Win32_OperatingSystem: <Null>: No such interface supported

I have been searching online for days and tried doing virtually
everything I found that I could understand and nothing works.
Reinstalling WMI off the XP CD doesn't work, rebuilding the WMI
repository doesn't work, registering all the WMI DLLs and MOF files
doesn't work, running all the various scripts to fix WMI that are
posted all over online doesn't work.

I downloaded the Microsoft WMI Diagnostics tool and ran it. It printed
a ton of errors in a 466-line report that I can't make head or tail
of. 6 here, 33 there, 27 over there...almost too many to count. The
suggestions it gives to fix them range from vague and incomplete to
incomprehensible. I'll paste those error results into a followup post.

I installed the WMI Tools package and can't figure out what to do with
any of the tools at all. The only thing I noticed is that when
examining a section under Win32_Processor, most entries for various
properties are marked <empty>, while I have seen people discussing
what I think are those same properties online and talking about seeing
stuff typed into theirs (such as the HostingModel having
LocalServiceHost typed in and ImpersonationLevel having 1 typed in).
But there are so many properties and I'm not sure what should be typed
into all of them or if I'm even looking in the right place.

I've seen some suggestions in WMI documentation that not all WMI
errors may be related to WMI itself at all, which I think might be the
case here, but I don't know. Some material said DCOM may be the
problem, but I didn't have much luck figuring out how to fix that
either. From the WMI Diagnostics it looks like there may be multiple
errors of different kinds, but if it's that bad, I don't know how my
computer's been working at all.

I've been using this computer for 9 months and had no major problems
with it, although I did have a problem installing Microsoft Windows
Genuine Advantage Notification, for which Microsoft sent me a script
that fixed it. One other person here at work is suffering from this
same WMI error, but most people have been able to install SQL 2005
here with no problem.

My boss does not want me to just do a full XP reinstall. He wants me
to identify the specific problem and fix it. If this was my home
computer I wouldn't spend so much time banging my head over this
incomprehensible problem. But a full reinstall is not really an option
for me in this case, unless maybe Microsoft says that's the only way
to fix it.

I am available to deal with this issue during 9 to 5 eastern time
Monday to Friday.

Thanks in advance for any help...

Below is the error report from the WMI Diagnostics tool. By the way I
did re-register OLE32.DLL and OLEAUT32.DLL as it suggests to fix the
DCOM error, but of course it didn't fix my original problem nor it did
stop the same message from appearing in this report when I run it
again:

17024 15:07:36 (0) ** => This error is typically due to the following
major reasons:
17025 15:07:36 (0) ** - The application queried by the WMI provider is
not installed, not available or not running
17026 15:07:36 (0) ** at the time of the request was made. This error
can also be generated because
17027 15:07:36 (0) ** the application supporting the providers has
been uninstalled.
17028 15:07:36 (0) ** - Some WMI providers (i.e. RSOP Planning Mode,
Exchange 2003) are implemented as a WMI service.
17029 15:07:36 (0) ** Make sure the required services are successfully
started.
17030 15:07:36 (0) ** - The WMI provider binary files are not
accessible (i.e. access denied ACL).
17031 15:07:36 (0) ** - A WMI provider registration problem at the CIM
level (MOFCOMP.EXE) or at the COM level (REGSVR32.EXE).
17032 15:07:36 (0) ** You must re-register the WMI provider by
recompiling its associated MOF file with MOFCOMP.EXE
17033 15:07:36 (0) ** Note: - If the WMI provider DLL CIM and COM
registrations are correct, this error can
17034 15:07:36 (0) ** be returned because the provider has a
dependency on another DLL that cannot be
17035 15:07:36 (0) ** loaded (missing or bad DLL)
17036 15:07:36 (0) ** - Dependencies can be found with the DEPENDS.EXE
tool coming with the
17037 15:07:36 (0) ** Windows XP and Windows 2003 Support Tools. The
command line is as follows:

After much searching I found a fix posted online that got me past this
error. Someone posted on his blog that he was getting the same error
on another installation and he had called Microsoft Support about it.
Here is the link to his blog and the fix he said Microsoft gave him:

*****************************************************************************************

http://michalferber.com/index.php/page/6/

I started installing Visual Studio 2005 the other day and kept getting
this error.

"The SQL Server System Configuration Checker cannot be executed due to
WMI configuration on the machine FERBER Error:2147500034
(0×80004002)."

I searched high and low and found nothing of any value. So I called in
the experts (Microsoft Support).

It turns out that something was screwy with WMI on my machine. We did
the following after a few hours trying different things and then the
install was successful.

1. Add network service account to administrators group.
2. Add authenticated users to following registry keys:

* HKCR\CLSID\{73E709EA-5D93-4B2E-BBB0-99B7938DA9E4}
* HKCR\CLSID\{7C857801-7381-11CF-884D-00AA004B2E24}
* HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WBEM\CIMOM

*****************************************************************************************

I would also add...

To do step 1, you go to Control Panel, User Accounts, Advanced tab,
click Advanced button, and open Groups folder.

To do step 2, right click on those registry keys, click Permissions,
and add Authenticated Users. I gave them Full Control permissions,
but I'm not sure if that was necessary or not.

Lastly, I don't think this is a pure fix to the way the WMI
configuration is supposed to be. When I run the WMI diagnostics
again, most of the errors are gone, but I still get the errors related
to namespace security and default trustees being removed. And at the
bottom it still says "ERROR: WMIDiag detected issues that could
prevent WMI to work properly." My guess is these permissions changes
to the registry overrided whatever missing permissions the diagnostics
tool is looking for. Nevertheless the diagnostics tool is still
looking for the permissions in the original places and not finding
them. But since this solution came from Microsoft and it seems to
work, I'm satisfied with it.

I am dealing with a WMI error that completely prevents me from
installing SQL 2005 on my system.

Almost as soon as I start to install SQL 2005 on my Windows XP Pro
Version 2002 Service Pack 2 machine at work it pops up a dialog with
one of the following 2 error messages (they alternate randomly):

The SQL Server System Configuration Checker cannot be executed due to
WMI configuration on the machine PCF092191 Error:2147500034
(0x80004002).

The SQL Server System Configuration Checker cannot be executed due to
WMI configuration on the machine PCF092191 Error:2147749907
(0x80041013).

After clicking OK the installation just closes.

I also discovered when I load wmimgmt.msc and click Properties on the
WMI Control, I get the following errors on the General tab, AND it
does not allow me to click on any other tabs:

Failed to initialize all required WMI classes.
Win32_Processor: <Null>: No such interface supported
Win32_WMISetting: Successful
Security information: Successful
Win32_OperatingSystem: <Null>: No such interface supported

I have been searching online for days and tried doing virtually
everything I found that I could understand and nothing works.
Reinstalling WMI off the XP CD doesn't work, rebuilding the WMI
repository doesn't work, registering all the WMI DLLs and MOF files
doesn't work, running all the various scripts to fix WMI that are
posted all over online doesn't work.

I downloaded the Microsoft WMI Diagnostics tool and ran it. It printed
a ton of errors in a 466-line report that I can't make head or tail
of. 6 here, 33 there, 27 over there...almost too many to count. The
suggestions it gives to fix them range from vague and incomplete to
incomprehensible. I'll paste those error results into a followup post.

I installed the WMI Tools package and can't figure out what to do with
any of the tools at all. The only thing I noticed is that when
examining a section under Win32_Processor, most entries for various
properties are marked <empty>, while I have seen people discussing
what I think are those same properties online and talking about seeing
stuff typed into theirs (such as the HostingModel having
LocalServiceHost typed in and ImpersonationLevel having 1 typed in).
But there are so many properties and I'm not sure what should be typed
into all of them or if I'm even looking in the right place.

I've seen some suggestions in WMI documentation that not all WMI
errors may be related to WMI itself at all, which I think might be the
case here, but I don't know. Some material said DCOM may be the
problem, but I didn't have much luck figuring out how to fix that
either. From the WMI Diagnostics it looks like there may be multiple
errors of different kinds, but if it's that bad, I don't know how my
computer's been working at all.

I've been using this computer for 9 months and had no major problems
with it, although I did have a problem installing Microsoft Windows
Genuine Advantage Notification, for which Microsoft sent me a script
that fixed it. One other person here at work is suffering from this
same WMI error, but most people have been able to install SQL 2005
here with no problem.

My boss does not want me to just do a full XP reinstall. He wants me
to identify the specific problem and fix it. If this was my home
computer I wouldn't spend so much time banging my head over this
incomprehensible problem. But a full reinstall is not really an option
for me in this case, unless maybe Microsoft says that's the only way
to fix it.

I am available to deal with this issue during 9 to 5 eastern time
Monday to Friday.

Thanks in advance for any help...
Eric

Below is the error report from the WMI Diagnostics tool. By the way I
did re-register OLE32.DLL and OLEAUT32.DLL as it suggests to fix the
DCOM error, but of course it didn't fix my original problem nor it did
stop the same message from appearing in this report when I run it
again:
