Backup Exec Error 1603 when installing a remote agent

I'm attempting to install a BE 12.5 agent on to a brand new server that has never been backed up or had any Symantec products installed on it.

When I attempt to install a remote agent on the server soon after I start the installation it fails with "A fatal error occurred during installation on server XXXXX.

ERROR: Installation failed with error 1603.

The server is running MS Server 2003 x64 R2 SP2.
Has anyone experienced this and if so, is there a fix?

Please refer to  the following
A fatal error occurs when an attempt is made to push or perform a silent installation of the Remote Agent for Windows Servers (RAWS) on a remote Windows Machine.

It fails the same way on another server.  Same exact error.  1603.  Same hardware and OS.
Dell PE 2900.

Althought iamthecreator's comment may have worked if I had another server that was running the 12..5 agent already, I didn't have any successful installations at that point, so I wasn't able to confirm this.
I have successfully used the command prompt solution that I had found twice now.
iamthecreator's suggested link worked for both 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows Server 2008.
