Resolution

OnGuard 6.0.148 Hot Fix 1.0 requires the mofcomp.exe file to be located at C:\Windows\system32\wbem.

This error may occur if the default Windows folder is C:\WINNT rather than C:\Windows on the Windows Server 2003 system. If this is the case the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) file named mofcomp.exe will be located at C:\WINNT\system32\wbem.

To resolve this issue:

1) Create a folder named Windows in C:\.

2) Create a folder named system32 in C:\Windows.

3) Create a folder named wbem in C:\Windows\system32.

4) Copy the mofcomp.exe file from C:\WINNT\system32\wbem to C:\Windows\system32\wbem.
