  Unfortunately no.  Happy return code zero.  I'm a security dork, so I
wondered if maybe something I've disabled was breaking it, so I fired up the
(normally disabled) DTC service, verified that DCOM was enabled using
dcomcnfg, and took a browse around in the component services MSC to make sure
it looked like it was working, but still no joy.

  Would be good if it happens.  You gonna file a report with them?  (For all
the good that does :-/)
