Cause
This error may happen if the Primer version installed on the agent is from an older/incompatible ITCM build.
The best solution is to uninstall the Primer on the target and try the deployment again.
1. Deploy an Asset Management/Software Delivery job to uninstall dmprimer using the command:
MsiExec.exe /X {A312C331-2E7A-42E1-9F31-902920C402EE} /qn /norestart
2. Try the upgrade again using the Deployment Wizard.
(OR)
Upgrade the agent using the Software Delivery Agent package.
