I don't know if any of you have had a chance to try out my solution, but after getting the virtual agent installed now my backups fail. After reviewing the log, I discovered that you cannot backup a virtual machine easily if it has ties to a physical hard disc on the parent server, without installing an agent on the virtual machine itself. I am having trouble pushing the agent to the virtual presently, but will keep the forum advised to the progress and any errors and/or problems that I encounter along the way.
Sincerely,

I have been trying to install the agent for VMware and have been getting the V-225-53 / 1603 error as well. The official fix (grant users DB permissions) didn't work. I tried uninstalling the BKUPEXEC instance and all support files, which were at version 9.00.4035 or SP3, and installing that same version again, but I received the same 1603 error. When I uninstalled this version and installed the ORIGINAL version from the 12.5 installation disk (version 9.00.3042), the VMware agent install succeeded. I suspect Windows Update may have downloaded SQL Server 2005 Express SP3, and I installed it along with other updates.
What I've observed is that when I would try to install the VMware agent with SQL Server 2005 Express 9.00.4035 (SP3) installed, the SQL Server installation command reported in the bkupinst.htm log wouldn't even run according to the SQL Server summary.txt log:
-09-2009,12:36:52 : "SQLExpress\SQLEXPR.exe" /wait /qn /norestart /lv "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Summary.txt" INSTANCENAME=BKUPEXEC SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" SQLPASSWORD="" UPGRADE=SQL_Engine,SQL_Data_Files,SQL_Replication,Client_Components,Connectivity SAPWD=**** DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0
I suspect the installation was trying to run the OLD SQL Server installation and failing, since a newer version was installed. Removing SQL Server 9.00.4035 and installing 9.00.3042 off the original 12.5 installation disk allowed me to successfully install the VMware agent.
NOTE: if you need to uninstall the BKUPEXEC SQL Server instance remember to open Management Studio Express after the SQL Server Express installation completes and reattach the two BE databases. Then, open the BE client, and start up all the BE services. Everything SHOULD be exactly as it was.
Hope this helps anyone else struggling with this.
