Managed WMI, component not registered?

[ErikB]

Hi,

I have written a class that publishes data to WMI. The code works on a
different machine, but on my own developer workstation I am getting the
following exception:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException'
occurred in system.management.dll
Additional information: COM object with CLSID
{EB87E1BD-3233-11D2-AEC9-00C04FB68820} is either not valid or not registered.

I have also installed the WMI Explorer Extension for VS.NET 2003, and I am
getting the same error.

I've tried reinstalling VS.NET, and I've tried reinstalling the .NET
Framework v1.1, to no avail. I am running Windows 2000 Pro with the latest
service packs installed.

Does anyone have a clue as to what to try next??

Thanks,
Erik

The GUID you specify is the class id for a component registered with
wmiutils.dll. Is this dll registered on your machine?

WMI Redist will install the dll on your system:
