The problem comes from corruption in the WMI repository, and it can be repaired easily. From a command prompt, running as administrator, run:
winmgmt /salvagerepository
You'll get an error, but the command has sent a stop request to the WMI service. Run the command a second time, and it will repair the repository.
Afterwards, retry running the Inventory Control installation.
winmgmt /salvagerepository
