I am trying to install SQL Server 2008 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 also ran "rundll32 wbemupgd, UpgradeRepository" to rebuild WMI repository, it doesn't help either. I got the same error message. 
Any ideas what settings I need to change in order to ensure a successful installation of SQL S ...
