Hi Chris,
I've tried the manual update method with no success. I can't really get into uninstalls and reinstalls as these are all production systems.
As a work around, I've decided to restart the Altiris Agent each evening using a scheduled batch job. Details below.

This script can be used to restart the Altiris Agent service. Copy these two files to the "c:\Program Files\Altiris\Altiris Agent" folder on the target server.
AltirisAgentRestart.bat:
net stop "Altiris Agent"
net start "Altiris Agent"
AltirisAgentRestart.vbs:
'============================================...
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
obj = WshShell.Run(".\AltirisAgentRestart.bat",0)
set WshShell = Nothing
'============================================...
Go to "Control Panel\Scheduled Tasks" and click on "Add Scheduled Task".
When the Scheduled Task Wizard opens, click Next.
Click Browse and select "c:\Program Files\Altiris\Altiris Agent\AltirisAgentRestart.vbs".
Choose Perform this task: Daily. Click Next.
Choose a start time. Choose Perform this task: Every Day. Click Next.
Enter a user name with local admin rights. Click Next.
Click Finish.
