Symantec Backup Exec Remote Agent. This template assesses the status and overall performance of a Symantec Backup Exec Remote Agent. This template was created on Backup Exec version 13.0 R3, SP1. Prerequisites: WMI access to the target server. Credentials: Administrator on target server. Component monitors.
I am trying to install the Windows Remote Agent to a Windows 2003 server and it will not install.I have tried to do a push install and it hangs at 50% trying to start the install on the remote server (Loading the install. Please wait...). This will sit there indefinitely until I go into the task manager and end task on the _setup.exe (I also have to kill this on the remote server as well, so I know that it is at least trying to start the setup).

I have also tried copying the RAWS32 folder from the console server and running the setup from there. It gets to the point that it should start the install process, but the indicator bars never move and i have tried leaving this alone to run for at least 2 hours. I have tried running this as the administrator as well as my normal log on account, both of which are domain admin accounts.
BTW, the server is fully patched, the MS-Installer is newly patched at v4.5, I have Symantec Endpoint Protection (latest and greatest and fully patched) installed and I have tried stopping it.
Below is the install log entry for the latest install try. One thing I did notice is that there is no 13b3b9.msi file in c:windowsinstaller as referenced in the log below - I guess that could be the reason but i am at a loss as to where that file comes from or could be located at. i have searched the backup server and the client server and cannot find this file. I also did a search on Google and see nothing written about this file.
