Spam Filter disabled after upgrade

Hi, I've just upgraded my Plesk install to 7.5.6 After doing this I've noticed the Spam Filter icon in Server Administration is greyed out and says "Spam Filter Not Installed" when I mouse over it. If I go into Components Managmenet, for Spam Filter, it lists nothing. The thing is, if I go into License Management, it says my license can use Spam Filter and the Spam Assassin service is installed and running. So anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it? Thanks.
 
It seems Plesk can't recognise SpamAssassin in some cases. To fix this try to execute from %plesk_bin% following: 'defpackagemng.exe --fix --spamfilter.sf'
 
When I try running that command, I get this message:

Code:
Unexpected parameter --spamfilter.sf. Possible parameters is:
    [--type]
    [--soft]
 
defpackagemng --set --type=spamfilter.sf --default=spamassassin
 
Tired that one and got "The package SpamAssassin was not installed."
 
Resolved this. I did a Modify of the Plesk installation from Add/Remove programs and behold, Spamassassin wasn't installed. So I selected it to be installed and now it's working (sorta).
