WMI repository reset failed - Win 7 Ultimate 64

[Amadeus]

Shane,

This issue is a recurring one when I run the repair process. The WMI repair log contains about 3400 lines of text with errors similar to the snippet I am posting here - with the exception that there are many different programs with the same #PRAGMA AUTORECOVER error in the entire log. I should add there are about 230 lines of deleted files like this one: C:\Windows\System32\Wbem\AutoRecover\FAAD7D567E76CAB10704AFD7C0488F23.mof

In years past I ran into a somewhat similar error on another computer. What I recall doing is deleting the WBEM folder (backing it up, of course) and rebooting which solved the issue. Perhaps I was just lucky it worked. Your suggestions would be appreciated.

Here is the snippet:

You dont have to worry about those.

When the repair fixes WMI the first thing that has to be done is the WMI database has to be deleted. Then it is rebuilt. Normally this is nice and easy. but if users have any 3rd party programs installed that added to the WMI then they wont be in there any more.

So the repair loops through the drive looking for the .mof files to add back. Some mof files cant be added back or are not meant to, so you get those errors, but it doesnt hurt anything. Since the program is looking at the whole drive there is no way to tell what mof to try to add and which not, so getting errors with it is normal
