Resolution

Please ensure that the application hooks you are trying to monitor exsist on the system you are attempting to install the Endpoint Agent on.

Cross reference the settings on the Agent Monitoring tab against the actual applications installed on the system you are attempting to install EDPA on.  

How To Access the Endpoint Agent Monitoring page:

Enforce UI / Administration / System / Overview > Click on your Endpoint server / Click Configure > Select Agent Monitoring tab

Example:  If you are attempting to monitor Firefox, make sure Firefox is installed on the endpoint agent.  The same goes for Lotus Notes, Outlook, MSN, etc.
