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.
--------------script------------
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

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,

Try this and report back with the output it returns:
Unable to start the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service?

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

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
