Not able to install backup exec 20.3 remote agent

Hello All,

Currently we are trying to upgrade for from Backup exec 2016 to Backup Exec 20.3. As part of this we are facing issues while installing the 20.3 remote agent for windows.

We had to uninstall BE 16 manually from the remote agent as push was not working after sucessfully upgrading the media server.

The error that we are getting is "Product: Veritas Backup Exec Remote Agent for Windows - Update 'Veritas Backup Exec Remote Agent for Windows (Feature Pack 3)' could not be installed. Error code 1603".

Appreciate your help on this.

UAC is disbaled and tried rebooting the server several time.

Backup Exec 20.3

    Sure Marianne and sorry for the delayed response.

    It was a corrupted MSP FP3 from the RAWX64. Once it was removed, able to install it successfully.

    Thanks.

        Hello Marianne/All,

        Would be great if anyone can let me know how to remove previuos failed installations/uninstallation from registry for the remote agent.
