Data Protector 5.5 & VCB 1.0.3?

I'm having an issue after upgrading from VCB 1.0.2 to 1.0.3. I get the following message using VCB 1.0.3. I've downgraded back to 1.0.2 and everything now works.

All of my ESX Servers are v3.02 and Virtual Center is 2.02.

Anyone else successfully using DP 5.5 and VCB 1.0.3?

FYI,

Here is the fix for this issue.

When upgrading to VCB 1.03 the registry key installLocation located in the below location was changed to blank.

Modifying the registry and changing InstallLocation to C:
Program Files
VMware
VMware Consolidated Backup Framework\ resolved my problem.

This is still valid for DP 6.x and vSphere + VCB 1.5 U1 for vSphere.
