I have come across several cases, where sometimes if an install was attempted several times and uninstalled, you can not correctly install Netbackup until the registry is 'cleaned'
EX : http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH87262
and

If there was a batch file or script that would be created to do this in one shot, that would be a great help.
If at all possible add an export of the registry as a safety precaution.
