Were you on the system drive when you ran it?

I just had the same. Did you by chance install in a different language than en-US?
I have to open it from c:windowssystem32de-DE.

This seems to be a recurrent problem with other languages installs. E.g. I have the spanish version, same error cannot find sconfig.vbs but it searches in this path: windowssystem32en-US
Trick:
Go to your language path, e.g. windowssystem32es-ES and copy the sconfig.vbs to the en-US
sconfig should run now from powershell
Comment:
This is why I hate installing in other languages, and I can't believe MS is so lazy. An older problem was trying to copy AD from Windows Server 2003 English to another 2003 but Spanish -> it never worked. But from Eng to Eng it was perfect.

Rebuilding the WMI Repository
For Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2, you can run
winmgmt /verifyrepository
from a command prompt.
For Older OS like Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 run: WmiDiag tool with the checkconsistency option. For example: WmiDiag checkconsistency
If repository is found to be inconsistent:
a. For Vista and newer, run from elevated command prompt:
Winmgmt /salvagerepository
Note this command will take the content of the inconsistent repository and merge it into the rebuilt repository if it is readable
If the above doesn’t work, then run:
Winmgmt /resetrepository
Note this will reset repository to the initial state when the OS was first installed
