Hi all,

I am using Windows XP Pro Version 2002 SP2.
When I type "wmic" in command prompt, I get the following error
message:

'wmic' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.


After doing a search, I found wmic.exe in:
1.
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
2.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache

And when I try to run "C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\wmic"
or
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\wmic"
I get the following error message:

Please wait while WMIC compiles updated MOF files.
Parsing Mof File: C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\Cli.mof(Phase Error - 2)
Compiler returned error 0x8004401e

Please help me to get my WMI Tools back to service, thanks a lot!

WMI service is running, and below is the report of WMI Diagnostic
script.
In summary, there are a few errors (but the wmic.exe is simply not in
the wbem directory as I have written in the above post).

Full output of the report is below
Please suggest the way to get wmic.exe working, thanks a lot!

Hi all, I am using Windows XP Pro Version 2002 SP2. When I type "wmic" in command prompt, I get the following error message: 'wmic' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. After doing a search, I found wmic.exe in: 1. C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 2. C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache And when I try to run "C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\wmic" or "C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\wmic" I get the following error message: Please wait while WMIC compiles updatedMOFfiles. ParsingMofFile: C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\Cli.mof(Phase Error - 2) Compiler returned error 0x8004401e Please help me to get my WMI Tools back to service, thanks a lot! - J
