download WMI-1.4.9.win32.exe from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/WMI/ and it will resolve your problem

Solution 3:

What worked for me is: i downloaded the source named: WMI-1.4.9.zip from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/WMI/ Extracted all files from that zip file and saved it in a folder named: WMI-1.4.9 and then copied that folder to C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages. After that I navigated to that folder C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\WMI-1.4.9 and did a shift + right click -> Open Command line here and ran: python setup.py install

That's it, after that it worked for me like charm. No issues.

Also I had pywin32 installed from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/ (select the correct file - 'bittedness' and python version wise)
