Hi!
I uninstalled Visual Studio 2005, but then I get this error when trying to uninstall SQL Express:
"The SQL Server System Configuration check cannot be executed due to WMI configuration on the machine XXX: Error: 2147746132 (0x80040154)"
I don't even know what WMI is!
I have these installed (none of which can I uninstall):
Microsoft SQl Server 2005
Microsoft SQl Server Mobile [ENU] Developer Tools
Microsoft SQl Server Native Client
Microsoft SQl Server Setup Support Files (English)
Microsoft SQl Server VSS Writer
Help!
It sounds like WMI is corrupted on your machine. First, make sure you still have .Net Framework 2.0 installed. If this is the case you should search http://support.microsoft.com for WMI errors. There are a few articles out there that discuss how to recover from a corrupted WMI state.|||
After much searching, I found the way to repair WMI here:
"Re-registering WMI"

There are many potential fixes out there, but this one worked for me (fingers crossed).
Then, I had to download Windows Installer 3.1 from:
