The log Agent_<ComputerName>.log records the following:

Error: "Unable to find a valid repository"

Cause

The McAfee Agent Updater is unable to write files to the specified Temp Variable set for the System account. The cause is because either the %temp% variable pints to a non-existent folder, or does not have permissions to access it.

Solution

Make sure that the System Environment Variables are configured correctly for the System accounts %temp% and %tmp%:

Click Start, Run, type explorer, and click OK.
Right-click My Computer and select Properties.
Click the Advanced tab.
NOTE: If any system variables need to be altered, make the changes, and restart the computer to reload the System Environment Variables.

For information about how to configure System Environment Variables, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb726962.aspx.

Some common examples of invalid Temp Variable definitions include:

The variable does not point to an existing folder. The folder is not automatically created; it must exist or be created manually.
The variable contains more than one path definition. A Temp Variable must only point to one location; it can't contain several different paths.
The variable does not contain a valid path. Folder names can't contain any invalid characters such as: \ / : * ? " < > |
The Temp Variable points to a drive with no free space.
The permissions on the folder exclude the account under which the agent service runs. By default the account is the "local system account." This account requires read/write/modify/delete permissions.
