WMI Problems

I am having WMI problems. This originally came up while trying to install SMS Client. When trying to install the log shows the following errors:

MSI: Setup was unable to create the WMI namespace CCM
The error code is 8007007F      ccmsetup
MSI: Warning 25101. Setup was unable to delete WMI namespace CIMV2\SMS
The error code is 8007007F      ccmsetup      

I then tried rebuilding the WMI repository using the following command:

rundll32 wbemupgd, UpgradeRepository

When I try to run this I get the following error message: "Error in wbemupgd. Missing Entry: UpgradeRepository." This command has worked in several other computers that have had this problem.

After this I stopped the WMI service and renamed the Repository folder in %windir%\system32\wbem. I then rebooted and tried the install again. Same errors.

I checked the Event Log and found the following events in the Appplication Log:


Event Source:      WinMgmt
Event ID:      28
Description: WinMgmt could not initialize the core parts.  This could be due to a badly installed version of WinMgmt, WinMgmt repository upgrade failure, insufficient disk space or insufficient memory.
----
Event Source:      Userenv
Event ID:      1090
Description: Windows couldn't log the RSoP (Resultant Set of Policies) session status. An attempt to connect to WMI failed. No more RSoP logging will be done for this application of policy.
----
Event Source:      MsiInstaller
Event ID:      10005
Description: Product: Configuration Manager Client -- Error 25100. Setup was unable to create the WMI namespace CCM
The error code is 8007007F

I then did a repair install of Windows and got the same problem. After this was complete checked Event Log and had the following error:

Event Source:      Setup
Event ID:      60055
Description:
Windows Setup encountered non-fatal errors during installation. Please check the setuperr.log found in your Windows directory for more information.

Checked the setuperr.log:

Error: An error occurred while compiling the following MOF file: C:\WINDOWS\system32\WBEM\cimwin32.mof  Please refer to C:\WINDOWS\system32\WBEM\Logs\mofcomp.log for more detailed information.

There were a lot of these errors. They were for .mof and .mfl files for system, wmipcima, regevent, ntevt, secrcw32, dsprov, msi, plus more. Checked the mofcomp.log. There were lots of the following errors (cimwin32.mof is the only thing that changes):

Parsing MOF file: C:\WINDOWS\system32\WBEM\cimwin32.mof
An error occurred while opening the namespace for object 1 defined on lines 6 - 6:
Error Number: 0x8007007f, Facility: Win32
Description: The specified procedure could not be found.

Does anyone have any ideas how this could possibly be resolved without re-imaging the computer?
