wmic Invalid XSL format (or) file name. error intermittent

Question

I am getting the error randomly. Every 3rd or so time page loads no errors. Other 2/3rds of the time i get this error.

    ['X_Server_X on xxxx-xxx-xx-xxx - Invalid XSL format (or) file name.\r\n', 'string indices must be integers']

After a lot of googling and seeing other threads, the fix of copying .xsl files to Windows/System32 doesn't seem to work. This might be because the python I am running is on moinmoin ( a wiki like page).

Also another detail, the python is calling other servers (does checks on them).

Anyone have any idea why i'm getting this error.

Answer 1

I managed to fix the issue.

Had to move XSL files from

C:\Windows\system32\wbem\en-US to c:\Windows\SysWOW64  (64-bit machine).

Was trying to move to c:\windows\system32.

Answer 2

Alternative fix: Change Formats to match the C:\Windows\System32\wbem**en-US** Control Panel > Region and Language > Formats > Format > English (United States)
