Error when creating a maintenance plan

When using the maintenance plan wizard on SQL 2005 (RTM) when pressing
the finish button the following error occurs when trying to create the
plan.
Maintenance Plan Wizard Progress
Create maintenance plan failed.
Additional Information:
Create failed for JobStep 'Subplan'.
(Microsoft.SqlServer.MaintenancePlanTasks)
An Exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or
batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
The specified '@.subsystem' is invalid (valid values are returned by
sp_enum-sqlagent_subsystems). (Microsoft SQL Server, Error 14234)
The job appears in the Job Activity Monitor but greyed out and the
maintenance plan is not listed in its section.
What has caused this issue and how can I resolve it?You need to apply at least SP1 to your SQL Server instance to make
Maintanence Plan work properly. It'd be better if you apply SP2, it contains
lots of fixes.

Plans in RTM version of SQL Server 2005. It's possible to use Maintanence
Plans without SSIS if you apply SP2.
