How to correct the SQL server error in XP /Office 2007

After updating my XP SP3 workstation to latest patches i see this errror in the event log

Source MSSQL$MSSMLBIZ event ID 17207
FCB::Open:Operating system error 5(Access is denied) occured while creating or opening file 'c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\master.mdl"  Diagnose and correct the operating system error and retry the operation.
Is this a critical error that will create problems down the line using web apps?

Microsoft has offered a patch but I can't get that to work ..
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929665

"To work around this issue, repair Windows Internal Database. To do this, run the following command line at a command prompt:
Msiexec /i SSEE_10.msi CALLERID=OCSetup.exe REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus /qn REBOOT=ReallySupress /l*v <Log_File_Path> " 

Trying this return a syntax error. - I can download SSE_10.msi and but it in the directory where i run this command line, but same syntax error.

Any clues how I should be running this command? SQL server 2005 was installed from Office 2007 - and the latest patch for SQL server couldnt install for some reason.
