Improper COM objects installation after multiple failed installation attempts.
In order to address this issue, you will need to make sure the proper COM objects are created on the client machine for our agent.
AeXNSAgent.exe /regserver
This register AeXClient COM object only.
-OR-
AeXAgentUtil.exe /registerclient
This will register all COM objects of all *.dll files of SMA installation.
