SQL Server Express 2005 Setup Problems

[wildsharkuk]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install SQL Server Express Edition 2005 on my work PC (Windows XP Pro SP2 + Novell Network).

I am having a real nitemare setting it up. I receive the following error message just after installing the Native Client + Setup files.

"The Sql Server system Configuration Checker cannot be executed due to WMI configuration on the machine [Machine Name] Error: 2147749896"

I've done a google search and tried the various Batch files / regsvr commands to no avail.

If anybody else has come across this and managed to install, could you let a desparate aspiring SQL Server DBA know please.

Many Thanks

Hi,

Just couldn't remember the error when I got home, so did a google search.

Sorry the error is Error:2147749891 (0x80041003).

Looking at the WMI Control on the General tab in the Computer Management Console it shows the following:

Failed to initialize all required WMI classes.

Win32_Processor: WMI: Access denied
Win32_WMISetting: Successful
Security information: Successful
Win32_OperatingSystem: WMI: Access denied

Is this permissions issue? My username is not a full administrator, I think I'm just setup as a user with elevated privileges. Will need to check with the network administrator - but he is out for 2 weeks now.

Are there any solutions to get round this.

Thanks in advance
