How do i solve this???!!! Help!!!

Answer 1

 

I found this batch file and ran it and it fixed my WMI problems on SQL Server 2003.  Copy this into notepad as save as fixwmi.cmd and then from a command line run c:\fixwmi.cmd.

It takes several minutes to complete and at points it appears that it is not running but it is.  After it is complete, you see the :END statement start the SQL server installation again and you should be fixed.

 

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

Thank you very much helen_166 for posting this - after running this script as a result of many attempts to solve problems with the mofcomp command returning 0x80040154 errros, this script was able to fix the problem!!
