2011-07-25 16:40:28: ==================================
We tried commands at time index 16:40:26 manually but get a dll corruption error. We are at a loss..
The second error is when we uninstall and install a client too many times we get the following error will installing\
"Install failed. Error message: Failed to run action: RegisterExternalAgents"
This is not the one im worried about right now.
