Vista - WMI Error code 0x8004100a

I have tried to install onecare on Vista. I have not had any luck, after
talking to tech suport for onecare they have determined it is a Vista error.
I need to reset the windows management instrumentation (WMI) database and
this is a Vista support issue. I have not had any response from the windows
team. the following is the code that resets the WMI and my error messages.

C:\Users\hanson>wmic /NAMESPACE:\\root path "__namespace.name='wmi'" delete

ERROR:
Code = 0x8004100a

C:\Users\hanson>mofcomp %windir%\system32\wbem\wmi.mof

I am running in the cmd as administrator.

any ideas on how to reset the WMI data base? Any sugestions are appreciated.

Thanks in advance

One care is really not worth installing, IMO. However, try right clicking on
the install file and Run as Administrator. This might help:

I did all of that. As part of Method 3 I was to Run the WMIC removal. That
is what is erroring and why the onecare suport said it was a Vista error and
not suported under onecare.

I still dont know how to run the method three and have it run succesfuly.
