I did some further digging into the event logs.
I found this sequence in succession:
Reporting queued error: faulting application WMServer.exe, version
9.1.1.3814, faulting module msvcrt.dll, version 7.0.3790.1830, fault
address 0x0000000000052240.
Faulting application WMServer.exe, version 9.1.1.3814, faulting module

The Windows Media service failed to start. The configuration file 'C:
\WINDOWS\system32\Windows Media\Server\NamespaceDelta.xml' cannot be
parsed due to the following error: It is not possible to store a value
in a namespace node that has a different security type.Line number: 0

Am I reading this correctly that some call into the C++ Runtime
Library caused my WMS Namespace to get wiped out? Anyone have any
experience with any of this? I'd like to know what caused this before
I simply rebuild.

Hi Craig,
This line:

Tells me that you are running Windows 2003 R2 (SP2). The new 9.1.1 WMS dll
was distributed in the R2 update to Windows 2003.
Maybe your R2 windows update failed to update the XML file in question?
Nobody can really tell you why that file is corrupted, though. There is a log
file of the windows update progress that you could read in your spare time.
It might tell you something. That log file is in the \WINDOWS directory named
WindowsUpdate.log.
Try re-applying your R2 (SP2) update to the server. There might be other
files that were corrupted during the failed R2 update.
WMSServer.exe version 9.0.0.3693 - Pre R2 WMS installation
WMSServer.exe version 9.1.1.3842 - R2 WMS installation
9.1.1.3842 has some other quirkiness in it that makes it a "pain" for
developers. If you continue to have problems, then remove the WMS using the
Add/Remove Windows Components control panel, and then add the WMS again from
your original Win2003 install CD set.
