Are you trying to install the 32bit or 64 bit version of the Netbackup client ?

Also ensure you run the installation on a account with enough access permission.

NB_7.6.1.1.winnt.x86.exe provides fixes for NetBackup 7.6.1 on 32-bit Windows  client.

      I have seen NBU client software installation rolling back bacause of BE software.

      Are you aware that W2003 and NBU 7.6.x have run out of support from Microsoft and Veritas?

        Yes Marianne,

        Windows 2003 and 7.6.1 are out of support.

        There are plans to upgrade the Win 2003 to Windows 2008 but not soon. In the meantime I am given this task of backing up this Windows 2003 server using Netbackup. So the only version that I can use to backup this Windows 2003 box is by installing 7.6.1 .

        Is there any way to install NBU client on this box without uninstalling BE ?
