I'm getting the error WMI windows management instructmentation module is not
installed when I
try to start windows management services.
WHEN I RUN
setup for SQL Server Express 2005. It says configuration checker cannot be
executed.
I try to start windows management services and it says could not start
windows management instrumentation service on local computer.
I searched for wmi.dll on my computer and I have it in
c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386
can I copy this file somewhere into the system so that it will start windows
management services?

Do you know if the .Net framework can be installed on Windows XP Pro or does
it need to be Windows XP professional?
I have Windows XP Service Pak 3.
thanks,
