Details:

This error can occur even after a remote machine has been rebooted and when a silent (command line) install of the Remote Agent for Windows Servers (RAWS) is attempted. To resolve the issue:

1. Make sure the remote machine has been rebooted.

2. Confirm TCP Port 10000 is not being used by another application on the remote machine. For more information on this, review the following:

Warning: Incorrect use of the Windows registry editor may prevent the operating system from functioning properly. Great care should be taken when making changes to a Windows registry. Registry modifications should only be carried-out by persons experienced in the use of the registry editor application. It is recommended that a complete backup of the registry and workstation be made prior to making any registry changes.

3. If there is a possibility that a previous install of RAWS is still on the remote machine, check the registry on that machine, delete the following key, reboot, and run the install again.

HKEY_Local_Machine\SOFTWARE\Classes\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Reboot

4. Make sure the console is not locked on the remote machine and that a firewall is not blocking the push install. If it is, a silent (command line) install may be the only work-around for the issue. Review the TechNotes in the Related Documents Section below for more information.

Note: When performing a silent install, SETUPAA.CMD is the command to be used, not SETUP.EXE.
