Patching Error: The expected version of the product was not found on the system.

Here's another ugly error.  You'll see this one rear its ugly head if you've allowed Sharepoint to configure the Web/IIS and Application Server Roles within Windows Server 2008 R2 (2008 non-R2 is untested at this stage). It also only seems to effect the office update packs.  WSS updates are unaffected.  I'm thinking at the moment, it has to do with the languages flag used to install the roles.  It's not default to English, and thus, the updates are failing as they expect language packs.

About the only resolution I've found to this issue is to reinstall the Roles manually (there are various blogs on how to do this) and reinstall Sharepoint.  Your patches should complete successfully this time.
