Hello all,

sorry for cross-posting.

I tried several times to install WMI under NT. I downloaded this file:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c174cfb1-ef67-471d-9277-4c2b1014a31e&DisplayLang=en

After starting the setup, I get this box:

"WMI Core Components Setup has detected an existing WMI installation of
the same version. Would you like to continue with this installation anyway?"

I answered "Yes", clicked through the wizard and chose "Reinstall Wmi
Core Components". After that the installer runs until a box with
"Configuring repository file format... Please wait" appears.
Her I can wait several hours, but nothings happens anymore.

I deleted all files unter "c:\Winnt\system32\wbem" an tried again, but
that did not help.

Can anybody help me, to solve this problem?

Thank you in advance.

Greetz, Stephan

You didn't cross-pot, you multi-posted separate messages...

You have a reply in microsoft.public.win32.programmer.wmi

<tip>

Multiposting is posting separate copies of the same question to different
newsgroups rather than crossposting one copy. Crossposting is just like
addressing a mail message to more than one email address. In the case of a
newsgroup post, the "addressees" are the names of the newsgroups.

A crossposted question is only one message. It can be read and replied to
from any of the NGs to which it was posted, saving everyone (including the
original poster - that would be you ;-) a lot of time and aggravation...

If you are using Outlook Express, read the help topic "Viewing and Posting
To Newsgroups", especially the subtopic on posting.

Common netiquette dictates that you be selective when you crosspost. Choose
only 2 or perhaps 3 *relevant* newsgroups.
