BizTalk 2009 - Enterprise Single Sign-On Error

I recently got the following errors when starting Enterprise Single Sign-On on a pre-production BizTalk Server:

The SSO service failed to start.

Error Code: 0x80131700

The first error gives two suggestions on how to fix this error. 

The first suggestion is to reinstall SSO.  I tried a repair which did not do the job so what about a full re-install?  Unfortunately I could not uninstall Enterprise Single Sign-On due it being used by other programs (BizTalk anyone?).

The second suggestion is to run regasm from a Visual Studio command prompt.  With this being a Pseudo-Live server visual studio is not installed; fortunately you can still find regasm in the .net framework folders C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\.  I was then able then run a standard command prompt, navigate to this location and run:

regasm  "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Enterprise Single Sign-On\SSOSQL.dll"

Following this the SSO service ran successfully.

Could not create SSOSQL. To fix the problem, reinstall SSO or try 'regasm SSOSQL.dll' from a Visual Studio command prompt.

Error Code: 0x80131700
