Can't get Mac agent to install

Install of KBOXagent fails on sanity check because of missing com.apple.loginwindow -- however there is a com.apple.loginwindow.plist. This is on a system running MacOSX 10.6.3. Also happened on 10.6.5 too.

So phase 2, uninstall works fine:

Reinstall still generates the errors above. Tried copying com.apple.loginwindow.plist to com.apple.loginwindow (ie. addl. file) but no change. Looking at the log at startup shows:

Have you tried logging in with the same credentials locally (not via Provisioning) and manually running the KBOX Agent.pkg installation? Do you get the same results, and if so do you see more verbosity in the console/install log? SystemStarter generates these kinds of errors when unable to write to /Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist and /Library/StartupItems/ -- both of these should be set to system owner r/w and admin/wheel groups, respectively, read-only. You're using Kerberos authentication so that might be a possible factor in passing through the install commands via sudo/root?
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,
so that the conversation will remain readable.
