setting iis_smtp=On in winnt.sif makes the wmi service disappear

**icnocop** · July 21, 2008

Hi.

It seems there is a problem when (manually) adding the following two lines to the [Components] section of AMD64\winnt.sif (after nlite processing):

iis_smtp=On

iis_smtp_docs=On

Windows XP Professional x64 Edition SP2

What ends up happening is the WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) service is missing.

The answer for the nlite faq "How to reinstall WMI?" (http://nliteos.com/faq.html#Q26) doesn't seem to be unattended which is what I am after.

Any ideas \ workarounds?

Thank you.

I have a note that it is Windows bug since x64 (maybe sp2).

Tried it now just SIF, original installation not modified, and it fails the same.

Ok, thank you nuhi for the confirmation!

In order to work-around this issue, I am going to try to use sysocmgr.exe

It should work.
