Resolution
To allow the install to complete the DAS component must be recreated. To recreate the DAS component go to the install directory E.g. Program Files\NetIQ\Security Manger\One Point directory and run DASInstall.exe. Afterwards to confirm the component was created go to Start\All Programs\Administrative Tools\Component Services\expand component services\Computers\My Computer\COM+ Applications.
Confirm the OnePointActiveOpsDas component is there. Afterwards try running the upgrade again.
Cause
The upgrade fails because the OnePointActiveOpsDas component is missing. The upgrade cannot kill the DAS component because it is not there. Finding and stopping the OnePointActiveOpsDas component is a required process whenever upgrading a Central computer.
