The Acronis Remote Agent service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.
Trying to install ABR10 agent on Windows 2003 R2 64bit server. I get the following in the event log of the remote server...
The Acronis Remote Agent service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.
Attached is log file from my ABR10 server.
I also tried to copy the entire contents of the RemoteInstall directory to the remote server and install from there and I receive the same error.
Also, I have installed the agent on other Windows 2003 R2 64bit servers.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.

I have this problem as well, but since I cannot compare my log file with the one Eric Retherford appears to have sent separately, I herewith send my log, that almost every (incremental) backup session produces:

I hope someone can help me with this error, and I hope that the Dutch text makes sense. Sorry!
P.S. I cut several lines at convenient places to make it more readable and to avoid too long sentnces.
P.S. 2 My OS is Vista, my ATI version is 12, up to date: 15.0.0.7133

Your error is completely different as you use a different product ( that is discussed there ).

We just had this same problem using Snap Deploy. Fixed with the help of Level 2 support. This is what we did. Same steps might work for other products using remote agent service.
In our case, we found when the Snap Deploy Console opened it won't connect to the Snap Deploy's OS Deploy Server. We noticed, the Remote Agent service wasn't running.
Look in C:\ProgramData\Acronis\DeployServer\Database for the Database file. In our case it was size 0. It shouldn't be. Something was preventing it from being populated. The following fixed it for us.
- Snap Deploy console must be closed
- Disable your firewall and antivirus (You may want to do it out of hours.)
- Start the Remote Agent service manually. Refresh a few times to make sure it's still running and didn't stop again
- Now open the console (or your equivalent app) The console connects to OS Deploy Server successfully. In our case, the Database file was now 144K.
- We re-enabled firewall and antivirus
We verified the service continues to start OK by manually stopping and starting it a few times. NOTE: Console must be closed when you stop the service. Trying to stop the service while Console was opened causes things to hang.
