Remote Support Pack install fails

[James A. Baker]

Greetings,
I am attempting to get the Remote Support Pack to install but keep running into the attached error message:
"Unable to create workspace directory: C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SWMAgent\.marimba\ISEE_CMS_SWMAGENT"

I can manually remove the SWM Agent from the CMS via reg edits per the "HP Service Essentials Remote Support Pack - Software Manager Troubleshooting Guide" pages 11/12. This enables me to attempt the install again but still cannot get past this roadblock.

Windows 2003 Server Standard SP1. HPSIM 5.1. RDP console-mode connection with local admin privileges.

Any insight is greatly appreciated!!

Dan - the install doesn't get to a point where that folder is created. The SWMAgent folder is there but unable to create the .marimba folder.

We found out that the temp or tmp environment variable could not contain a space.
Try
SET TMP=C:\TEMP and
SET TEMP=C:\TEMP in the system

i gave that a shot but still receive the same error. perhaps the "workspace directory" pathname cannot have a space in it either...?!?!

i've also attempted from the physical console.

and now on SP2.

thanks for the info though!
