Summary: Error initializing addin under Outlook 2007 / Vista Ultimate

Initial Comment:
Trying to run SpamBayes under Outlook 2007 on Vista Ultimate returns:

There was an error initializing the SpamBayes addin
Please re-start Outlook and try again.

This has no affect on the error, nor does removing the configuration, database, or even uninstalling and reinstalling (Although the toolbar seems to get stuck as an option even efter uninstall).

SpamBayes was working on this configuration previously, I have no idea what's changed but it did coincide with Patch Tuesday. The only things I can see which may have changed it (According to Windows Update) are some definition updates for Windows Mail and Windows Defender. I have not made any changes to my Office configuration, nor installed any applications which rely on the Outlook database since SpamBayes was working.

Other apps seem to talk to the database OK, including iTunes, Nokia PC Sync and Mobile Device Center. I did have an issue where Outlook seemed to 'forget' its default profile settings, but this has since resolved itself.

Latest log file attached.

It appears that during initialization, spambayes is trying to create files
under \program files\spambayes, which normal users cannot do under vista. 
You can either always run outlook as administrator (right click, run as
administrator), or change the perms under \program files\spambayes.  You
can probably get very granular with what to allow, etc, but I just went to
c:\program files with an elevated command prompt and did

icacls spambayes /grant users:F /T

This issue still occurs following a complete format and re-install of
Vista and Office.
