Wow, so much for my plans to switch to 2005 at work. Any options there to leave Vista completly out? like a “Sanity-mode” ? 😉

Well, I think I pooched myself — I could have just used sxs the cheap way, by tossing the dlls in the directory, but I was putting the wrong version (non sp1 versus sp1) and so I was tripping over a couple different problems. Dumb on my part.

Still, though, I find it very microsoft to build a grotesque and baroque solution to what’s fundamentally a simple problem.
