    Thanks for reply. I tried all these links, but didn't work. I am unable to remove Altiris folder from registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Altiris.

    Also i opened case with symantec, but they didn't resolve it. Symantec people asked me to contact Microsoft to delete reg keys from Registry.

    I was getting similar error in some machines when trying to install the agent manually . What I did to solve the problem was this. (found here https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/blogs/uninstalling-altiris-agents)

    Use the AeXAgentUtil.exe located at C:\Program Files\Altiris\Altiris Agent\AeXAgentUtil.exe

    I run the following commands

    AeXAgentUtil.exe /DeleteDevices - Deletes known Altiris legacy device drivers.
    AeXAgentUtil.exe /UninstallAgents - Deletes all registered agents.
    AeXAgentUtil.exe /Clean - Attempts to completely remove the Agent. It will attempt to detect the relevant version and remove all files and registry entries.

    Then I deleted Altiris registry entry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Altiris

    Also I noticed some problems with machines where the command line bellow was used to install the agent.

    aexnsc.exe –s –a ns=”server.altiris.com” nsweb=”http://server.altiris.com/Altiris” /s

    instead of this

    aexnsc.exe /install /ns=server.altiris.com /nsweb=”http://server.altiris.com/Altiris”
    or aexnsc.exe /install /ns=server.altiris.com ( I used this to install the agent again without errors)

    sorry about my english

    I am not sure but if you can try to delete the registry key in Safe Mode may be it can delete.

    Try and confirm.

    I think the issue may be that "Use Sharing Wizard (Recommended") is enabled. The agent will not install either though the Symantec Managent web site or the command line install.
