SQL Express 2005 Configuration Manager - Cannot connect to WMI provider

It seems like the list of querky behaviour from database's never ends.

Came up against this problem with a fresh instal of SQL server 2005. I found the solution with a quick google leading me to this forum thread that had had the same issues.

This was the command prompt solution:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared>mofcomp "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"
