I uninstalled a trial version of SQL 2008. Yesterday I reinstalled a full version and I need use the configuration manager. I get the following error:
"Cannot connect to WMI Provider".
This doesn't seem to be an uncommon problem...
I found a number of posts suggesting slightly different forms of the following:
mofcomp "%programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"
I found the .mof eventually and ran mofcomp successfully:
MOF file has been successfully parsed
Storing data in the repository...
Done!
but I still get the same error. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Did you try granting Users full permissions on C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared folder as mentioned by Brett G here?

I set the permissions as recommended by the post but I am still unable to connect to WMI. I saw a number of posts recommending re-registering certain DLLs:
Regsvr32 Msxml3.dll
Regsvr32 Msjava.dll (failed - "Load library failed" 0000007e)
Regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
Regsvr32 Ole32.dll
Regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
Regsvr32 Mssip32.dll
Regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
Regsvr32 Urlmon.dll
Regsvr32 Cabinet.dll (loaded but DLLRegisterServer entry point not found)
Regsvr32 Browseui.dll
Regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
Regsvr32 Shell32.dll
Regsvr32 Inseng.dll
Still unable to connect.
I'm considering an XP re-install
