Cause

• The installation of the Microsoft .NET Framework on the endpoint is corrupt.
• Residual files in the %Program files(x86)%\CentraStage and %Programdata%\CentraStage\ folders prevent installation.

Resolution

On the endpoint machine, run the .NET Repair Tool from Windows or an SFC /scannow operation from an elevated Command Prompt session to resolve the issue.

If the issue persists, perform a clean uninstallation, then reinstall the Agent. Contact Datto RMM Support if you need further assistance. Refer to Kaseya Helpdesk.
