Error 1 : Incorrect Function

Cause

Following string value may be pointing to a wrong path or may not exist:

HKLM\Software\Symantec\PureDisk\Agent\etcpath

 

 

 

Resolution

If the Etcpath string value does not exist or is pointing to a wrong path, creating it or pointing it to the correct path should enable starting the Deduplication Manager Successfully.

The Etcpath needs to be created at the below place in the registry :-

HKLM\Software\Symantec\PureDisk\Agent

Registry String Value - EtcPath should point to "X:\Deduplication\etc" [where X stands for the drive letter where Deduplication folder is created].
