Cannot run Add/Remove Programs on SBS 2000

I have SBS with SP1 for SBS and SP3 for 2000 installed.
During installing some MicroSoft patches the Add/Remove
Programs in the Control Panel quit working. I just
finished installing SP4 hoping that would fix the
problem. It did not. I found Microsoft Article 323496
referencing this problem. It cuts off at SP2 and really
doesn't offer a fix. How can I fix this problem? I can
run anything else out of Control Panel, but if I click on
Add/Remove Programs nothing happens. The same for if I
run the executable referenced in 323496. Any Ideas?

Hi Darix,

Re-registering the dll's has worked before. Isn't this part of that kb
article?

From a command prompt;

regsvr32 c:\winnt\system32\appqiz.cpl
regsvr32 c:\winnt\system32\mshtml.dll
regsvr32 c:\program files\common files\system\ole db\oledb32.dll

Try that one.
Got IE 6 installed on the server?

That did the trick. Thank you so much. I thought I was
really sunk.
