New SP2 Client Install Failure

Hi,
I have successfully upgraded a server with both the new SP2 and the 3050
hotfix. I am now trying to do this to my client workstation. It selected the
following components on my SQL2005 SP1 client to upgrade.
Setup Support Files
SQL Server Native Client
Client Components
MSXML 6.0 Parser
SQLXML4
Backward Compatibility
The client component upgrade failed on
Microsoft.sqlserver.notificationservices.dll. I had an error code 1603 and
this in the hotfix.log
MSP Error: 29549 Failed to install and configure assemblies c:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\NotificationServices\9.0.242\Bin\microsoft.sqlserver.notificationservices.dll
in the COM+ catalog. Error: -2146233087
Error message: Unknown error 0x80131501
Error description: The Transaction Manager is not available. (Exception from
HRESULT: 0x8004D01B)
Any ideas?
Thanks
ChrisI found the answer on Connect. You need to have DTC running for the update
to finish.

logs for any COM+ errors.
