Installing Backup Exec Remote agent on x64 System

Follow the following Symantec support article to install the Symantec Backup Exec x64 Remote Agent.

I browsed over the article and didn’t follow it step-by-step and couldn’t get the installation to work. Take particular note to mapping a network drive – this was the step I ignored and the installation failed.

On the remote x64 computer, map a drive letter to the Backup Exec for Windows Servers media server using the following path: \Program Files\VERITAS\Backup Exec\NT\Agents\RANT64EX (the scripts do not support UNC paths).

Also note that this is a silent installation – you won’t receive any success/fail feedback. Just check the Add/Remove Programs control panel item to confirm the installation was successful.
