Basically it says that I do not have sufficient privileges to install
the Agent for all users of the machine.  Can anyone shed some light for
me?

Thanks in advance.

I have been working on this for over a month with TAC. It appears, but
has not been POSITIVELY established, that there is a bug that may be
related to either the cert used or the particular executable. I am
conducting some (hopefully) final tests today. Having said that, here
are a few gotchas to check. These all apply to Windows, I have no idea
how to deal with this on Mac or Linux/BSD. 

Stub agent ONLY works with executables, no batch files allowed. My TAC
guy did not know if an executable called by an executable would work or
if a script called by an executable would work. 

The executable must be signed with a code signing cert with a proper
chain of certs. You must use an exact version of code signing executable
from Microsoft to keep Cisco happy. I do not know if it REALLY matters,
but TAC can give you a link to the "sanctioned" version. Cisco admits
that instructions are " a little vague" on this, however TAC has a great
PDF that makes it pretty easy and painless. 

The root cert must be installed on the client machine as well as the
code signing cert, and it must be in the Trusted Root Certification
Authority on Windows. 

And here's the one that TOTALLY got me, YOU MUST CREATE A  REGISTRY KEY
THAT IS PARTICULAR TO THE EXECUTABLE BEING RUN IN ADDITION TO INSTALLING
THE CERT! Whoops, I totally missed this one and in case you did too, get
the PDF from TAC, it explains (more or less) how to create the registry
key that you need.

If you do those things, have exactly the right  executable, it works
great. If the wind is from the southwest however, or Clean Access
dislikes your executable (Heaven knows why) your pretty stuck. I am
using a compiled scripting language AutoIt3 which is a gift from above
for Clean Access in a Windows environment, but the compiled code, which
is a self running exe file, fails utterly. The Spybot installer however,
for instance, works fine. Go figure. 

Anyway hope all this helps. Good luck storming the castle.
