The KB article suggests you add WBEM folder to the path. When I looked at the path under Control Panel, System, Advanced, Environment Variables, I noticed that my path under System Variables contained WBEM folder but it was missing a semicolon. My path looked something like this.<\/p>\n<p>%SystemRoot%\\system32;%SystemRoot%;<strong>%SystemRoot%\\system32\\WBEM<\/strong>C:\\Program Files\\QuickTime\\QTSystem\\;<\/p>\n<p>Due to the missing &#8220;;&#8221; at the end of %SystemRoot%\\system32\\WBEM, the path to WBEM was invalid. I added the semicolon and everything was back to normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I was working on a Windows Server 2003 and tried to add a program using Add or Remove Programs.
