This is probably caused by a corruption in WMI in your Windows Server. Try reinstalling WMI. There's information on how to do this at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/reinstalling_wmi.asp

Well I can't seem to find the original article but here is a couple of things to try.

Can you run “winmgmt /verifyrepository”? If this returns “ WMI repository is inconsistent” then you will have to rebuild the repository. You can rebuild it using “winmgmt /salvagerepository”.

Thank you, Michelle.

I am having the same problem trying to install Accounting Express 2007 on my new Vista Ultimate machine.

The machine already has SQL Express loaded. Management Server Express works.

"winmgmt /verifyrepository" runs and says repository is inconsistent...

"winmgmt /salvagerepository" runs and produces:

WMI repository salvage failed
Error code: 0x8007041B
Facility: Win32
Description: A stop control has been sent to a service that other running services are dependent on.

Any thoughts?|||

Check out the following post it has a solution.
