    Sounds like it can't create the scheduled task to start the install. If you don't have a lot of machines you need to push out to, it may be quickest to pull the install. E.g., browse to the update share and run setup.exe out of the SAVSCFXP folder. If that isn't an option for you, check the endpoints to make sure Windows Firewall isn't blocking anything, UAC isn't blocking anything, and that Windows Task Scheduler and Remote Registry services are running on the endpoint.
