Hi All

 

Im currently trying to install Netbackup client on a Win 2003 server 64bit,After uninstalling backupexec and then installing NBU.

then later  ends with this

I have tried numerious ways such as:

Hello,

 below Value "return value 3".

You also look for the MSI Errors:

and Product version, source of Install package and Errors if any

May be you have already done. But Just re-verify it and check if it works.. i did got same error on system where i removed NBU client and was trying to promote it as master server.

Remove all NBU Directory reference

download everything search tool for quick search across all local drives (http://www.voidtools.com/download.php)

It takes 2-3 mins to build up NTFS journal

Search for following

Veritas, Symantec, BackupExec, NetBackup

Do verify you do not have any other products deployed from same family or has dependency direct/indirect.

For registry clean up ; Following TN must address you to RCA
