SMS: WBEM Is Not Installed on Windows NT 3.51 Workstation (235159)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q235159

SYMPTOMS

When you are installing the Systems Management Server (SMS) version 2.0 client on a Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.51-based client, Web Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) may not be installed. This behavior is likely to be intermittent. When this occurs, the Ccim32.log file contains the following error messages:
Waiting for Process "i386\WBEMSDK /s" to finish...
*** Process "i386\WBEMSDK /s" finished; exit code = 128.
*** ERROR - base component "Windows Management" install state set to ""

CAUSE

This behavior occurs intermittently because of a problem in the Wbemupgrade.dll file.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, do not cancel the client installation. The client should recover from this error automatically. After several attempts, WBEM should be installed successfully.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
