Failed to run action: InstallCoreAgentDll

[Jeff Stanton]

Hello,

We have a handful of machines in which the Altiris agent will not install.  It was installed at one point, but since the original install, it was either uninstalled or had an upgrade fail.  I've cleaned the registry, but apparently I've missed something. 

Now when I try to reinstall, the agent produces the following errors in the install logs.

2022-09-07 20:12:26 P:3736 T:2860 INFO Installer: Randomized name created: AeXPerfCtrs.{71B9FB16-73C6-498F-8572-916AEF3CC0CB}.dll

2022-09-07 20:13:13 P:3736 T:2860 INFO Installer: Core Agent Installation Ended

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jeff Stanton!

What version of Agent You are trying to install?
What Windows OS is on these affected computers?

Potential root cause is non existing location (disk) specified or incorrect switch in Agent "Default settings".

Please make sure that settings are correct

Best Regards,

Hi Igor, I am trying to install 8.6 RU2 agent manually on the client.  I have verified default settings are blank as seen in your screenshot.  The clients that I have found thus far are 2012 R2 servers.
