SQL Backup Agent startup error: VDI library not registered

I get the following error (this is on a different machine than my last post) after upgrading from 5.1 to 5.3:

The server components were unabled to be installed from the sqlbackup gui. So, i uninstalled via control panel, copied the new sqb install to the box, ran it. Received "The SQL Backup Agent service is not running. Check the event log"... the event log error is:

"SQL Backup Agent startup error: VDI library not registered."

    a simple search of the forums and I got my answer... I just registered the COM library manually:

    regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\COM\sqlvdi.dll"

    all is good again!
