  Help Installing WMI Provider Reply Contact Hey guys, I'm just an admin, and pretty new to IIS 7.0 (and 2008 Server STD).  I have an app I am trying to install and it is telling me that WMI Provider is not enabled in IIS 7.0 and so it can't install it. So I searched it and everything seemed to say install the Management Scripts and Tools... and enable WMI Provider from there.  I went to role services and it was checked off as installed but still not working.  So I uninstalled and re-installed the role services.  Still no luck. So I uninstalled and re-installed the entire IIS 7 role with all the management services checked.  (IIS Management Console, IIS Management Scripts and Tools & Management Service). Still no luck. A couple of the sites show the IIS Management Console menu tree as having links to those role services, but they do not show in my tree.  I installed a fresh 2008 Virtual server and installed the IIS 7 role from scratch with these Role Services... the do not show up in the menu tree there either.  I am stumped... ideas?

For installing old WMI provider, you need to install "IIS 6 WMI Compatibility" component. Can you install that component and try again?

  Re: Help Installing WMI Provider Reply Contact Thanks for the suggestion... I tried it.. no luck... thinking there is some sort of deeper compatibility issue with the app... even though it says it works with IIS 7  Am I correct that all I have to do to get the WMI Provider installed is make sure Manangement Tools and Scripts is installed?  I am still curious why it doesn't show in the tree in the IIS Management Console... as it does in some (but not all) of the tech support documents I have looked at.
