The MOF compiler could not connect with the WMI server. This is either because of a semantic error such as an incompatibility with the existing WMI repository or an actual error such as the failure of the WMI server to start.

回答1:

I had the same issue with yours but was able to solved it by uninstalling the Sql server completely using CCleaner to uninstall it. Try to uninstall using control panel might not uninstall all the files necessary.

Turn off the windows firewall. Then reinstall the sql server.

I faced same problem while installing MS SQL Server 2017 Enterprise.

I've used Windows Installer CleanUp Utility (Microsoft product) to remove everything associated with SQL server. This tool listed tone of components and apps from SQL Server which I didn't see in Control Panel - Uninstall Software option.

I could select all SQL programs and start uninstall procedure for all of them. This tool is really effective. I was able to install MS SQL Server 2017 Enterprise successfully after that.
