Just installed MCMS 2002 SP2 in my maintenance environment, in preparation
for the security fix, and now I get an InvalidCastException on an API call
to site deployment.  I know about the KB 913401 hotfix for SP2/SQL 2005, but
we are not using SQL 2005 at this point, just SQL 2000.  Does that hotfix
apply to SP2 with SQL 2000 as well? Any other ideas?  Event log message is
below.

A short conversation with PSS uncovered the issue, and I'm posting here in
case anyone else runs into it.  It turns out the server was loading two
versions of the NRSiteDeployServer.dll, as our deployment application had a
copy of it in it's local folder.  Deleting the local copy fixed the issue.
