    Windows MSI Installation - Error / Service Failure

    I am attempting to deploy Zabbix Agent 7.4.2 to some Windows Hosts running Server 2019. When I do so everything appears to work but the service fails after a couple minutes and when attempting to interact with the installation results in the below error message:

    Has anyone seen this before? So far it seems to affect about 25% of the hosts I am deploying too...

    Any help at all would be GREATLY appreciated.

      Running it manually on the box works, but remotely does not... so odd. Is it the user context or something?

        This is still an issue, mass deployments are made essentially impossible using windows/msi.

        I have tried SCCM deployments, powershell, Lansweeper... anything that installs under a different user context bombs and locks the installer.

        ANY ideas would be greatly appreciated. I am leaning towards a bug in 7.0+ msi builds... as this does NOT happen in 6.0+
