So once this happened I tried "Microsoft Knowledge
Base Article - 315296" to clean 'Clean Up a Damaged COM+ Catalog' but that
did not make any change. I will go research these new errors to hopefully
get somewhere with this.

Okay I got it working. Once I reinstalled COM+ and came across the other
errors I couldnt get anywhere. I tried to reintall msdtc again and all
appears to be fine. So I guess the logical path needed was to reintall COM
+ as per KB315296 then reinstall msdtc.

Thanks all
