Client Management Suite

I recently uninstalled Patch Management along with a host of other solutions that we had initially installed, but never actually began using.  After uninstalling, I am getting the following error in my logs.

Inner exception. Type=System.IO.FileNotFoundException Msg=File or assembly name Altiris.PatchManagementCore, or one of its dependencies, was not found.

Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of these errors?

1. Reinstall Patch Management, then leave it alone.

2. Repair the NS and all installed solutions.

When uninstalling the Patch Management Solution, there were several components that I didn't uninstall which may have caused this issue.  I reinstalled Patch Management and then uninstalled using a HOWTO article provided by Symantec Support and the problem has been resolved.

Article: DOC1160  I did not uninstall Inventory Rule Management, Computer Management, or Software Management.
