Installed hotfix = corrupt COM+ catalog

Doing some late night patching last night... Ended up with a web server that had been up with almost no dowtime for 8 months to being down for 1 hour and 20 minutes!

I rebooted the machine and none of the sites would start... The event view said that sites were not being started out of process like they should...
After scouring google I cam upon this which solved my problem : Solution

A couple questions... how the heck does instaling a hotfix corrupt the COM+ catalog (Q320206) and how can doing nothing in the Windows Setup program restore it magicly! Where is the backup catalog? I am happy the problem is fixed, but the solution does not mention any technical detail on what the hell happened!
 
Sounds like a com object (that turned out to be important) didn't get correctly registered in the hotfix. Running thru the setup stuff caused the registrations to finally occur. Must have been a pain to find that, certainly not obvious...

bsobel - Hell yeah it was a pain! If it wasn't for a good I would have never figured it out!

I am guessing this shows my ignorance of COM+. When a COM+ application is started, it's identity is stored in the system registry?
