Hi,
I am trying to install SQL Express on Window Home XP and SCC is returning the following error:
The SQL Server Configuration Checker cannot b execute due to WMI configuration on the machine ..... Error 2147942405 (0X80070005).
I tried running the following batch file which I believe resolved the same issue that someone else raised earlier (though I am not sure whether the OS was Home XP)
Will upgrading from XP Home to XP Professional (academic version) help me install SQL express successfully>
The Batch file I ran looks like this:
FIXWMI.CMD
------------------------
@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
Any suggesstions will be geatly appreciated.

Sql server Express edition installation (OS Windows Home XP)

I also encountered this WMI issue when installing sql 2005 express edition on xppro+sp2, the error message was like this:
----------------------------------------------
The SQL Server System Configuration Checker cannot be executed due to WMI configuration on the machine CS-PHILLIP Error:2147749891 (0x80041003). For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink LinkID=20476&ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=9.00.2047.00&EvtSrc=setup.rll&EvtID=70342

Jens Suessmeyer, i will try your solution. BTW, it seems that i can't connect to the link what you said.
Also, I search this issue on google.com, and find an article seems useful: http://presstopia.com/pt/blog/default.aspx id=6&t=Upgraded-to-SQL-Express-2005
However, it needs expert knowledge what I haven't got yet to understand his solution.
Tomorrow, I will try to install sql server 2005 standard edition on my laptop to see whether this issue will still occur.

This question can probably be better answered in the Setup forum, so I'm going to move it over there.
