When trying to push the Data Protection Manager 2012 SP1 agent to some freshly installed Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Servers

Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.
Got a cloud not load the setup launch screen
And Agent Operation Failed ID 370
Going from the error in the event log the DPM Agent Installer have a requirement on VC Redist 2008
Installing 2008 or 2008 SP1
And we have success with pushing the agent to the Windows 2008 R2 Server
And always run a windows update to ensure that VC get patched
So Windows Update is your friend
