WMI configuration error
After installing VS.NET 2005, I began receiving the following WMI configuration error when trying to install SQL Server 2000, 2003 or 2005:
The SQL Server System Configuration Checker cannot be executed due to WMI configuration on the machine [machine name]Error:2147749896 (0×80041008).
Following various abortive efforts to fix, I finally came across this batch file that resolved the issue:
@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

It didn’t help me, I still get the message when trying to install SQL Server 2005; but… is this fix meant for XP ? The wmicore.exe on ms site is only for 95, 98 and NT

This dosent appear to work for Vista. Has anyone been successful on vista with this batch file.
The script ran for me but I still received an error when I tried to install.

Also having the same problem on Vista. I ran the batch file with administrator privileges but the WMI error still pops up when I try to install SQL Server 2005.
