Comments on: Windows PE 3.0 and the Missing WMI Class http://iboyd.net/index.php/2009/10/12/windows-pe-3-0-and-the-missing-wmi-class/ Thu, 19 Apr 2012 00:25:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Daniel http://iboyd.net/index.php/2009/10/12/windows-pe-3-0-and-the-missing-wmi-class/comment-page-1/#comment-37293 Daniel Sat, 31 Dec 2011 02:23:16 +0000 http://iboyd.net/?p=221#comment-37293 Hey guys, check this note. It solved my problem (Install all five packages, and WMIC working under PE 3.0). http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/143622-how-to-install-wmic-in-winpe/ Thanks for help guys. I found the issue was you needed more packages installed than just wmi and scripting. I ended up also install the following packages: XML MDAC HTA So I basically installed 5 packages into PE (I used PE 2.1) I doubt all 3 of these were needed, but with them installed wmic works correctly! I'm too lazy to go back right now and figure out which of these 3 packages is actually needed, but I will eventually. But for now, if you install the following 5 packages total under PE2, then wmic.exe will finally work correctly: wmi scripting XML MDAC HTA Hey guys, check this note.

After few searches, I installed winpe-wmi_en-us.cab package (with Waik 3.1) to my custom Pe with "dism" command. I tested Win32_DiskPartition Wmi class with a VB script. It's work fine. Thanks for this tips.

I was getting an error code 80041006 which when i googled came up with memory related errors! For what its worth to anyone trying to resovle this - you must inject the files before booting the image - copying once loaded didnt work for me even after running wpeinit. Thanks again!

I'm pretty sure the WMI package had already been installed. Many other WMI classes worked fine, it was just this one in particular that gave me trouble. Thanks for the info Eric.
