(GDI+) detection tool don't run without admin prevs.

This morning I got many calls from users who are complaining that they can't
logon
because the computer hang. All users who didn't have admin previleges
couldn't logon. They got a
message from a popup windows saying:

"Microsoft GDI+ Detection Tool.
You do not have administrator previleges on this machine. This installation
cannot be compleated
correctly unless it is run by an administrator. [OK]"

And then nothing else than a blue background without any icons nor start
menu.

After a little investigation, there is an entry in the
Local_Machine...Runonce in the registry;
"GDI Detect Tool..       rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection
C:\WINNT\INF\AU_gdi.inf,GDIToolRun,2,N"

After running the line with admin previleges and delete the entry users can
login again. I'm not so convinced
this is a proper behavor of a hotfix. Isn't it the MS04-028 which did this?
We are running mostly windows2000 and automatic windows update.
