Re: How to reinstall WMI on WXP-SP2

Hi, jw
Your link also led me to a link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=D7BA3CD6-18D1-4D05-B11E-4C64192AE97D&displaylang=en
which is basically a VBScript which is intended to verify the setup and the
core elements of WMI based on information in the registry and the WMI
repository, plus some other stuff. Its output for my PC gave me a list of
missing files with instructions to copy them from a WMI-functional PC.
Hopefully this tool will help me get WMI working. The download also
includes a Word doc and an excel spread***.

Paul, when all else fails, why not just try it?

WMI download:

Hi,
I'm trying to run some VBScripts that access WMI, including WMI
Scriptomatic.
They all fail at statements like:
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & _
"{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
with error:Invalid Syntax and code: 800401E4.

I think my WMI system has been trashed because my
Windows\System32\WBEM folder contains just a few files
and subfolders, while my laptop on which WMI Scriptomatic runs fine, has
many more files and subfolders there.

I've posted to Microsoft's WMI newsgroup, but got no responses.

Is there a way to just reinstall WMI?
