Resolution
Installing the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (vcredist_<platform>.exe) will stop the above system log entries from being created, and allow the proper installation of the agent that is being deployed.
This can be downloaded directly from Microsoft.
Cause
This is caused by a problem with the Visual C++ libraries either missing, incorrectly installed, or wrong version.
