DCOM error, access denied when trying to install exe

I'm trying to run a EXE on a windows XP 32 bit desktop machine and I am getting a error that says Access denied. I attached a pic of the error and the event log message.

Other XP machines run this fine and I was even able to run it on a 2003 server fine. I tried replacing the file wmiprvse.exe from a working system and I'm getting the same error. I have full admin access to every file on the box.

Any ideas what is causing this or how to fix it?

Unable to start a DCOM Server: {1F87137D-0E7C-44D5-8C73-4EFFB68962F2}. The error:
"Access is denied. "
Happened while starting this command:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\wmiprvse.exe -secured -Embedding

Thanks for the info, I tried this below and it seemed to work.

From other thread:
and235100:
Okay - search HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT for {73E709EA-5D93-4B2E-BBB0-99B7938DA9E4}.
(using regedit)
Then - expand the CLSID - and take note of the AppId and the friendly name.
Now - open the corresponding COM+ app (Admin tools) (in Components Services\My Computer\DCOM Config)
then find the app with the correct AppId - and check the Launch and Activation permissions - what are they set to?
I tried this and permissions look fine for "Microsoft WMI Provider Subsystem Secured Host"
tx for feedback
Glad you got it fixed.
