WMI Issues

[Guest]

I am having some WMI issues with XP Pro SP2. I have been trying to install
SQL Server 2005 Express, while following all of the directions to the letter,
I still get an error "The sql server system configuration checker cannot be
executed due to WMI configuration on this machine. Error:2147749891
(0x80041003).

I have confirmed that the WMI service is running, and i deleted the
repository folder, with no success.

msinfo32.exe is unable to gather information, "access is denied to windows
managment inst. server on this computer. Have an admin change your access
permissions."

I have full admin rights.

Even tried it in another admin account, nothing.

I have been working on this for some time, and i have tried many of the
solutions found on other newsgroups.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thnx.

Doug

This helps with WMI Initiliazations errors. Maybe it wiill help...

Create a FIXWMI.CMD batch file from the below script and run it and see if this corrects
your problem.

FIXWMI.CMD
------------------------

@echo on
cd /d c:\temp
if not exist %windir%\system32\wbem goto TryInstall
cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem
net stop winmgmt
winmgmt /kill
if exist Rep_bak rd Rep_bak /s /q
rename Repository Rep_bak
for %%i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %%i
for %%i in (*.exe) do call :FixSrv %%i
for %%i in (*.mof,*.mfl) do Mofcomp %%i
net start winmgmt
goto End

:FixSrv
if /I (%1) == (wbemcntl.exe) goto SkipSrv
if /I (%1) == (wbemtest.exe) goto SkipSrv
if /I (%1) == (mofcomp.exe) goto SkipSrv
%1 /RegServer

:SkipSrv
goto End

:TryInstall
if not exist wmicore.exe goto End
wmicore /s
net start winmgmt
:End

David, thankyou for your quick response, however the fixwmi.cmd did not fix
the problem. I am still getting the same errors as before. Its starting to
look more like repair, "drag". If you can think if anything else, id love to
try it.

Thanks again

Doug
