I am trying to install SQL Server 2008 trial version in my local machine. However, I kept running into errors with the following error message:
"The MOF Compiler could not connect with the WMI Server. This is either because of a semantic error such as an incompatibility with the existing WMI repository or an actual error such as the failure of the WMI Server to start".
I checked on the WMI services, they are started and running. I ran sfc /scannow to check on system files. I also ran the following script trying to repair the WMI repository. However, none of them helped.
