Problem Installing SQL Express 2005

When it is checking my PC configuration, I get the error message:

---

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup

The SQL Server System Configuration Checker cannot be executed due to WMI configuration on the machine KODY Error:2147942527 (0x8007007f).

I do not know how to fix the problem. Please help!

Sincerely, Kclemens

The OS's affected are: Win 2003, Win2003 SP1(x86, IA64, x64), and XP PRO SP2 and higher

This error can also be seen if WMI is corrupt on your machine. Try these cmd line statements:

Mofcomp.exe %windir%\system32\wbem\cimwin32.mof

Regsvr32 wbemupgd.dll

regsvr32 wbemsvc.dll

wmiprvse /regserver|||

I ran those and on these 2 I got the error message:

Mofcomp.exe %windir%\system32\wbem\cimwin32.mof|||

The error message that you received didn't come through in your post. Can you please repost the error?
