From: Joe on 22 Mar 2010 09:31 All files in my WBEM folder have mysteriously disappeared except for the snmp & xml subdirectories. Consequently, I'm having several system problems (e.g., cannot access service dependency tabs, WMI can't start, strange i-Net connectivty issue, etc.). I checked Microsoft Download but the only WMI Redistributable applies to W2K. My platform: WXP Pro SP3, NIS 2009, IE8, ADSL, Stand-Alone Computer. -- Joe Davis

At a command prompt issue the following command: rundll32 wbemupgd, UpgradeRepository If things don't improve then try re-registering the WMI components or a comprehensive WMI rebuild, see here for more help: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/repairwmi.htm John
From: Joe on 3 Apr 2010 08:42 -Thank you, John John, for your help & links. I ran the command you suggested but it did not help. I then copied the core WMI files from another system & began working with the WMI Diagnosis Tool to affect repair. This was cumbersome because the "for %i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %i" AND "for %i in (*.exe) do %i /RegServer" scripts did not work on my computer, meaning that I had to register the components one-by-one. The WMI Service is now up & running, though I still have some problems (e.g., nothing is listed on the Dependencies tab of any Service). For some reason, a few .dll & .exes continue to be flagged by the Tool as needing to be registered, most notably WINMGMT.EXE & UNSECAPP.EXE. Addionally, registration for FASTPROX.DLL & WBEMPROX.DLL won't take for all classes. I also notice that none of the .mfl, .mof, or .xsl files that exist on my other identically set up computer are present in my reconstructed WBEM folder. Should I simply copy these over as well? Appreciate any further advice. -- Joe Davis "John John - MVP" wrote: > Joe wrote: > > All files in my WBEM folder have mysteriously disappeared except for the snmp > > & xml subdirectories.

From: John John - MVP on 3 Apr 2010 12:30 If you did the comprehensive rebuild as shown in the link, and if WMI is still bugged up, then an in-place upgrade is the only thing else that I can suggest. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978788 How to perform an in-place upgrade (reinstallation) of Windows XP John Joe wrote: > -Thank you, John John, for your help & links. > I ran the command you suggested but it did not help. > I then copied the core WMI files from another system & began working with > the WMI Diagnosis Tool to affect repair.

Thanks for your advice, once again. What you've helped me to understand is that I can either go with what I have or reinstall Windows. It's too bad that Microsoft does not offer a WMI Redistributable for WXP like the one they do for earlier versions of Windows. I will abide with what I've got for now, considering that none of my current computing activity is impaied, & engage in a full-throttle wipe & reload in August to coincide with upgrading NIS to a new version. Cheers, John John. -- Joe Davis "John John - MVP" wrote: > If you did the comprehensive rebuild as shown in the link, and if WMI is > still bugged up, then an in-place upgrade is the only thing else that I > can suggest. > > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978788 > How to perform an in-place upgrade (reinstallation) of Windows XP > > John > > Joe wrote: > > -Thank you, John John, for your help & links. > > I ran the command you suggested but it did not help. > > I then copied the core WMI files from another system & began working with > > the WMI Diagnosis Tool to affect repair.
