    Hi Aryeh,

    I'm having problems applying this upgrade to our 3 servers running Windows Server 2003 Appliance Edition (Dell) through Remote Desktop. Our 3 other servers running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition had no issues.

    I'm going to keep fiddling around with this and see what I can find to resolve the problem, but here is the preliminary install log errors.

    Code:
    <2009-02-02 16:40:00> Current context has administrator privileges
    <2009-02-02 16:40:00> CreateSqlDatabase: Entered

    <2009-02-02 16:40:04> Error while reading registry (SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters\ExtensionAgents\)
    
    I'll report back if I manage to get the install to work.


    Cheers,

    Looks like it's tough love for me. I had to use the Windows Installer Cleanup utility, delete the program files and registry to get going again.

    Thankully I had no clients on those satilite offices yet, so rebuilding from ground up isn't too much of a problem for me.

    After you removed it, did you install the new version? Did it work?

    Well, it didn't remove either. The uninstaller didn't work, which is why I had to use the Windows Installer Cleanup, delete the registry keys and the program files.

    Once I have completed those things, I was able to sucessfully install the latest version on to these systems, but I had to rebuild the configuration from scratch again. Thankfully I documented everything so it wasn't that much of a challenge.

    3.0.105 screwed up my production admin server.

    At another site, it was fine.

    Parts of the log where errors occured;

    Now I have no admin server. I'm going to try uninstalling and reinstalling. Fun.

    <2009-02-03 13:56:36> UninstallExecute: Entered
    <2009-02-03 13:56:36> Uninstaling due to reinstalation from version 2 and higher
    <2009-02-03 13:56:36> Deleting default packages...
    <2009-02-03 13:56:36> Deleting modules...
    <2009-02-03 13:56:36> UnregisterSnmpAgent: Entered
    <2009-02-03 13:56:36> Error while reading registry (SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters\ExtensionAgents\)

    For 3.0.39 the following command line is the modify entry;
    MsiExec.exe /I{20A04C1A-F264-45A2-8CBA-443C121269C1}

    That let me repair 3.0.39 but required a reboot... Then it would not uninstall. Errored out due to being an upgrade from 2.0.

    So I had to do the MSIZap like the above post. Then I removed the Admin Server registry entries in HKLM under software/eset/ remote admin server keys. Still wouldn't upgrade.

    Then I had to remove the program files including my database. Once I did that, I had a clean new install with all my settings lost.

    It doesn't seem upgrade friendly, I guess people should uninstall old versions before installing this new version.

    The solution as stated above, is to do a clean reinstall.

    Clean install kinda sucks when you have a bunch of policy, policy rules, and reports.

    if your reinstallation/uninstallation of ERA ends up with

    "Error while reading registry (SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters\ExtensionAgents\)"

    this should help:

    - run regedit and find key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters\ExtensionAgents]
    - right-click on an empty value "(Default)" and choose Delete
    - re-run the installation

    I was unable to uninstall Remote Admin Server 3.0.39 from Control Panel.

    Ran the original installer and selected Remove. Got the same error in the log as above.

    Deleted the registry key as shown (thanks flom). Nothing was deleted (or maybe it deleted and re-added because it always has to have a Default?).

    Ran the original installer and selected Remove. This time it worked!

    That's great, but WHY did it work? What does deleting that key actually do?

    Just want everyone to know that we experienced the SAME error as others have stated above.

    Deleting the Default registry key in the mentioned Registry section did the trick (the 2nd time.) Glad I found this post!

    Both RA & RC are at 3.0.105 now... all configs are present & accounted for.
