Cause

Customer generated their own 45 character Uninstall Password without using the UninstallPwdKeyGenerator.exe.

Resolution

Customer needs to use the UninstallPwdKeyGenerator.exe executable that is in the Tools Directory with the Agent Installation Files. 

Once the new key is generated, they need to put that key in the install during package generation.
