      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;IF you are using a 6.0.2 Agent Please downgrade the agent to 6.0.1 and let me know the Outcome &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Agent is currently 6.0.2.2331487.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This has now been replaced by 6.0.1.2089044.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am happy to report that this has resolved the error.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So for future reference it looks like a bug or similar in 6.0.2.2331487.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks Gaurav!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is it possible to obtain a copy or download link to said 6.0.1 Agent? I am having the same issue, Windows 7 x64 Pro, fresh build. Errors at the same location, same error. I've checked and re-checked, deleted all snapshots, etc. I have one drive letter on my master.. 'C'. No mapped drives, nothing. I am a few days into an evaluation, so I do not have access to past versions. I contacted support and they indicated that trial/eval users only have access to the most recent. 6.0.2 in this case (no way to get 6.0.1). &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Any help you can give would be appreciated.. it's doubly frustrating on an eval to not be able to do a true proof of concept. I did not have this issue on Windows 8.1 Pro x64, linked clone pool provisioned just fine. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
