The user MUST run the CMD prompt as an administrator (right-click the CMD Prompt in the start menu, and left click on Run as Administrator)
 
From a command prompt, go to C:\Windows\system32. Then type these commands:
 
C:\Windows\system32\winmgmt /verifyrepository
(you will see: WMI repository is INCONSISTENT)
 
C:\Windows\system32\winmgmt /salvagerepository

Once you get the message that the WMI repository has been salvaged, ask the user to reboot and then try the Q Local 2.1 install again.

 

This has only been seen with 2.1 and Vista. Verify the user has Vista before continuing.
