Installing windows management instrumentation service

[Sainath]

Hello all,

I am trying to install windows management instrumentation service on my windows xp professional os.

For some reason, it was not installed during my first windows xp installation.

Could anyone tell me how i need to go about doing this. I would greatly appreciate your help.

Thank you,
Sainath

drop in the xp cd, select install optional windows components, then highlight managment and monitoring tools, click details, put check marks in what you want, and click next.

Hi ,

I tried what you said, but it did not help.

I had a look at another xp machine, and they have two services listed in the services panel, namely

Windows management instrumentation

Window management instrumentation Driver Extensions.

I need both of these installed..
