Guest na Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 Re: WMI Hello, I tried to re-register WMI using the Winmgmgt.exe command. Since I did that the WMI control properties reports a connectrion failure to WMI controller becquse "interface: class not registered". I suppose I have to register something but what ? On the other there is no clear procedure on how to reinstall WMI. thanks for your help !
