    Hi JonHunt updating this post.

    We work with Veritas / Biomni support until they fix the problem. In the admincmd directory we found this files:

    E:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>dir *. /p
    Volume in drive E has no label.
    Volume Serial Number is A83C-7AF6

    Directory of E:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd

    This is the support summary:

    This was due to a 0 byte file called bpgetconfig which was in the admincmd directory.  Instead of running bpgetconfig.exe, it was trying to run the 0 byte file, which obviously wouldn't work (and rightly gave us an exception that it was not a valid application):

    "The specified executable is not a valid Win32 application."

    Logged here in our support db for future reference.
