Gavin, I have attached a link to a zip file that is Microsoft's Hotfix Manager. It scan's your Server/Workstation for all installed Hotfixes and allows you to gracefully uninstall Hotfixes that you have previously installed on the machines. Find out the Hotfix number that has failed and uninstall it using this utility. Hope it helps.
