An error occurred accessing components in the System package on this computer. Error code was 80040154. Make sure that:

+ Microsoft Transaction Server is installed correctly.
+ If you have set a specific identity for the system package, check that the user account and password are correct, and user is a member of the local NT Administrators group.
The only option is an OK button that returns to MMC.
