PCAnywhere - Cannot launch from console

  • 1.  PCAnywhere - Cannot launch from console

    Hi all, been experiencing this lately. I cannot launch pca QuickConnect from the console, from any machine. I can launch pca QuickConnect "manually", but not from the console. The following displays in the windows event logs: 

     

    Event code: 3005 
    Event message: An unhandled exception has occurred.

    And in the Altiris logs:

    Unhandled exception.
    System.IO.FileNotFoundException (Symantec.pcA.Web): Could not load file or assembly 'Symantec.pcA, Version=12.6.8212.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=xx' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
       at Symantec.pcA.Web.RemoteControl.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)

     

     Couple things to note: 

     

    pcAnywhere is intalled on the SMP, but the policy keeps failing with 1001 (it keeps re-trying). 

    The pcAnywhere Host Service on the SMP keeps stopping. It will start for a few minutes, then stop. 

    Not sure if either is related. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
