SQL Server 2005 - SQL Server Configuration Manager WMI Error 0x80041010

Problem:
When trying to run SQL Server 2005 - SQL Server Configuration manager, a WMI 0x80041010 Error occurs.

Most likely reason:
The object in WMI that the configuration manager is trying to find isn't present, because it was never loaded.

Solution:

Compile the mof file manually for the SQL Server Configuration Manager so the object gets in there.
Run:
"C:\Windows\System32\wbem\mofcomp.exe" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared"
