Cause
The root cause of this problem is the fact that "OvStoreProv" component is un-registered replaced and re-registered then the password used by "OvStoreProv" fails to be set correctly.
The outcome is that "OvStoreProv" can’t start then the service "OvEpMessageActionServer" can’t start either.
Fix
The following steps are advisable:
1. Perform a full backup of the Operations Manager for Windows server
2. Run the command:
# ovc –stop
3. Go to services.msc and stop the service with the name: “Window Management Instrumentation”.

# OMW_00178 debug
4.1. From the patch dialog, select ...\bin\OVSysConfig.dll and then click “Add BreakPoint” button.
Then click “Go” button. The installation progress will pause right after OvStoreProv.exe is processed
4.2 Go to RUN and type "dcomcnfg"

Right click to property -> Identity Tab and then fill in the user name and password (default user name: HP-OVE-User) -> click OK
