Create a shortcut to "gcasDtServ.exe" which is located
within your MS antispy folder. In the shortcut properties
add a "-embedding" switch at the end of the target.

The target should look similar to this...

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft AntiSpyware\gcasDtServ.exe"
-embedding

If that doesn't work, uninstall, reinstall, then try this
fix again before attempting to run the program for the
first time.
 
When responding to a previous query, remember to put "Re:" in the subject:.

Anyway, they Error 101 does not seem to have an appropriate fix, not even
the one in Help Files seems to work, but MSAS Team is working on it. Anyway,
here is the one from the Help Files:
If you see a dialog box with the following message after you start your
computer or when you start Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware, you need to repair
or reinstall Windows AntiSpyware. The following message can also refer to
Error 102 or Error 103:

Warning: Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware has encountered a critical error
(Error 101). Please restart Windows AntiSpyware and run the program again.
If you continue to experience this problem, please uninstall the program and
install the most recent version of Windows AntiSpyware. You can use Add or
Remove Programs in Control Panel to uninstall this version of Windows
AntiSpyware.

You can repair Windows AntiSpyware using Add or Remove Programs in Control
Panel. Click Microsoft AntiSpyware and click Change. Click Next, and then
click Update.

If you see the critical error message again, uninstall Windows AntiSpyware
and reinstall it. To do this, use Add or Remove Programs in the Windows
Control Panel. Click Microsoft AntiSpyware and click Remove. You can
reinstall Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware at
www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software.
 
In addition to Andre's useful advice:

If you are seeing this error--or are using any sort of workaround at all to
get around it:

Please send your Errors.log file to:

(e-mail address removed)

If the file is lengthy, you might rename or delete the current file, and
just go through one boot and run Microsoft Antispyware cycle, and then
submit that file.

Your suggestions may work for some but not all.
