Actually, it hadn't gotten to the point of being motivated enough to
actually pick up a telephone... (I hate telephones!)
As it turns out, the 'fixes' from KB909444 resolved the issue.
I did this pursuant to applying KB896688 and KB902400 (in that order) to a
virgin XP SP2 VM environment, and was not able to reproduce my VS2005/VMRC
error -- this led me to believe that it /was/ something on my system
contributing to the malfunction.
While the VMRC wasn't listed in the KB article, and the permissions appeared
to be okay on my system, I applied the fixes via the command line
instructions, anyway. Reinstalled KB902400 (I had previously installed
KB896688 after tracing the problem to KB902400), and it's all working
perfectly now.
My advice now, to anybody experiencing issues with KB902400, even if the
cause is not yet documented in KB909444, would be to reapply the security
permissions to the %windir%\registration folder.
