"Adobe Setup has stopped working" problem with XP, not Vista

Question

Adobe has posted a tech note to work around the "Adobe Setup has stopped working" for Vista:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408524.html
However, I am having almost the same problem with Windows XP SP3.  I have tried installing and updating using both an admin class user and the actual Administrator.  At first I thought it might be related to Symantec EndPoint until I saw the Vista thread, but I get the same problems even with EndPoint not on the machine.  The posted technote (which seems oddly written by the way.. mentioning junctions AND folders?!?) does not cover XP, only Vista.  My attempts to translate it over to XP procedures does not get very far.
The install goes fine, but any subsequent updates for the suite fail.  Once the failure occurs, InDesign and other apps will refuse to open.  I can't even right-click a file in Windows Explorer or it also results in a crash (I am guessing to the CS Drive and Bridge additions to the contextual menu).  The main apps that fail to update appear to be the same ones mentioned for Vista:
Adobe Drive and Services update (aka Version Cue client 4.0.1, Creative Suite Infrastructure 1.0.1)
Adobe Version Cue Server 4.0.1 update
Flash Lite 3.1 Update for Adobe Device Central CS4 (aka Device Central 2.1)
Adobe Output Module update for Adobe Bridge CS4 (aka Output Module 2.1)
Extensions Manager CS4 2.1
Screenshots of the errors are here:

Luckily we use drive images for our systems so I can hop back to a freshly prepped notebook with out much delay, but given the long CS4 install time this has become a pain to try to solve.
Have any others run into this problem using XP and not Vista?
