Issue

Sometime you might see an error message,

RundDLL
There was a problem starting <file>
​<file> is not a valid Win32 application.

Where <file> is the path and file name. For example, C:\windows\Installer\MSI8421.tmp. In most cases, this happens with the Silent Agent with a MSI installer:

Cause

You might see this message because Windows firewall is blocking a file.

Solution

Disable Windows firewall before installing the Agent.
