This system log shows that the DLP Endpoint agent installation completed, service was started successfully, and it rolled back immediately.

Cause

On the client, the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable package has become corrupted.

Solution 1

To successfully run the DLP Endpoint deployment task on a client system, do the following:

On the client:

Click Start, Control Panel, and Add/Remove Programs.
Remove all versions of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package.

In ePO:

Reinitiate the DLP client deployment task and initiate the wake-up agent.
DLP Endpoint automatically installs the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package on the client and the DLP Endpoint client deployment task completes successfully.

NOTE: Older versions of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages might not be visible in the Microsoft Windows Add or Remove Programs page. To correct the visibility issue, download the Windows diagnostic tool from: https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/help/17588/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed.

This tool fixes the issues that prevent existing programs from being uninstalled.

Solution 2

CAUTION: This article contains information about opening or modifying the registry.

The following information is intended for System Administrators. Registry modifications are irreversible and could cause system failure if done incorrectly.
Before proceeding, Technical Support strongly recommends that you back up your registry and understand the restore process. For more information, see the Microsoft Windows registry information for advanced users article.
Do not run a REG file that is not confirmed to be a genuine registry import file.

Not all Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages appear in the installed programs list on some systems. These packages need to be removed manually using the following steps:

Open the Windows Registry, go to File, Export, and save a backup of the registry.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\1af2a8da7e60d0b429d7e6453b3d0182\InstallProperties
Right-click the UninstallString string value and click Modify and copy the uninstall path.
Go to Start, click Run, and paste the uninstall path.
Click OK.
After the uninstall has completed, reboot the system.
Redeploy the DLP Endpoint agent to the client system.
