MOSS 2007 install: Not done just yet…

During the installation of MOSS 2007 I quite often encounter the following error message in the Windows Event Viewer:
The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with
CLSID {61738644-F196-11D0-9953-00C04FD919C1}
to the user <serverName>\mossService SID (S-1-5-21-<serviceSID>). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.
After searching the web and testing i found that the permissions on the DCOM+ Component Service, specifically the IIS WAMREG Admin Service, to be wrong.
