Resolve
Delete the temporary WMSvc directory
Sometimes old WMSvc temporary directories cannot be deleted automatically. This could be caused by incorrect directory permissions or a locking issue. The presence of such directories should not cause any problems. If you want, you may delete these directories manually by using Windows Explorer.
To delete an old WMSvc temporary directory, navigate to the directory mentioned in the event log message by using Windows Explorer, and delete the directory manually.
Verify

To verify that the Web Management service is running:
- Open an elevated Command Prompt window. Click Start, point to All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
- Type sc query wmsvc, and press ENTER. The Web Management service is running if the state reported for the service is 4 RUNNING.
