The installation failed as "The MOF compiler could notconnect with the WMI server", a lot people talk about running sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof, but there is no this file under folder 150.

I would like to know where to download sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof, and it seems this file was not packed inside the download file

Thank you

    Hi @Martin zheng ,

    sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\150**Shared**. Please check this again in your environment.

    Please uninstall the previous failed installation then run an new installation again.

    Quote from the blog Error: "The MOF compiler could not connect with the WMI server".

    Please open a command prompt as administrator and run the following command:

    mofcomp "%programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft SQL Server\150 \Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"

    Then open the Services control panel, restart the Windows Management Instrumentation service, and then do a manual install of the SQL. Use a new instance or run an uninstall of the previous instance and then make a "fresh" install.

    If it is not work, please check if this similar thread could help you. And please share us SQL server setup log for analysis.
