is your server 64bit? if so, does your app supports 64bit?

Out of curiosity, what is the app?

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.

Its possible that app is dependent on old WMI provider which shipped with IIS 6. For installing old WMI provider, you need to install "IIS 6 WMI Compatibility" component. Can you install that component and try again?

Thanks,

Help Installing WMI Provider

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?
