%1 is not a valid WIN32 application

We've recently installed SQL SP4 on one of our servers and are experiencing
the following problem:
SQLSERVERAGENT fails to start after the service pack has been installed with
error:
%1 is not a valid WIN32 application
The system log reports pretty much the same error.
We had to resort to uninstalling SQL server completely. Reinstalling SQL
server (and applying sp3a) works fine and SQLSERVERAGENT starts without any
problems.
Applying sp4 (and rebooting) results in the same error.
Please let me know if you are able to assist with this.
