Why is APM agent installation failing with KINWIINS.ver file incorrect message?

Question & Answer


Question

Installation aborts using installation agent on windows, only one machine is failing. There seem to be some "leftover" install information from something previous on the machine.
Other than run smai-agent.bat uninstall_all and remove any leftover directories what else can I do?

 C:\IBM\APM\InstallITM\Abort*.log
 Installed KINWIINS.ver file incorrect, cannot continue.
 SEVERE: ERROR - Install aborted.
 RollbackClearData entry
 RollbackClearData FAIL: Directory
 C:\IBM\APM\RollbackData failed to clear
 
 RollbackClearData SEVERE: Delete the above directory before the
 directory before the next install, or rollback may back level files or directories.
 
 RegistrySetRoot Key(Software\Candle\OMEGAMON) invalid HKEY value, cannot process.
 Media source Directory initially set to:
 C:\temp\APM_AD~1.0\APMADV~1.0\apm\inst\os-agent
 Media source Directory does not contain Component files
