Windows 7 Corrupted Smart Card Base Components

Windows isn't a natural platform for me and occasionally I end up doing pretty dumb things in frustration.  Like installing Microsoft NT Win32 Smart Card Base Components on a Windows 7 machine.  This corrupted the smartcard setup.

I knew this because my smartcard app ran ok on a Windows 7 guest virtual machine, but not the Windows 7 host (on which I'd done the above).

This blog entry fixed the problem: Install the smart card service on Windows 7 and Vista

A big thank you to Lazybit :)
