Server OS is Windows 2003 .  When trying to remove the ESM 6.5 in add/remove programs we receive a windows installer error 1720.  Other programs add/remove fine and without issues.

Has anyone had this issue and how do we remove the 6.5 Agent now??

Hi,

There was a problem with ESM 6.5 regarding agent uninstallation. This issue is fixed in ESM 6.5.3 release.

You can either
1. Upgrade the agent to ESM 6.5.3 or later.
or
2. Delete the ESM Agent folder and Services. But make sure you have deleted service, agent installation directory and files properly.

Regards,
