I have a problem with my WMI it's corrupted after installing SP2 for
Windows XP.

I have tried everything (I believe): Rebuilding repository has no
effect, tried remove "hide" in sysoc.inf for WBEM, but I could not
remove the checkmark in the Windows program components to remove the
application....

I have not found any article about re-installing WMI on a Windows XP.

Does any have any idea ?

Copy the lines below into a CMD script and run it on your
machine. Let me
know if it works.

I ran the script. A number of errors. Generally invalid namespace or
missing .mof files. They follow:
