原因

The uninstall/upgrade process was failing because the "Windows Firewall service was disabled."

The NetWorker MSI installer uses a "custom action (WixExecFirewallExceptionsUninstall)" to remove firewall exceptions for `nsrexecd.exe`.
When the Windows Firewall service is not running, these actions can not complete, resulting in:
"Error 0x800706d9" → "There are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper" (commonly occurs when firewall service is disabled).
MSI returned "error code 1603," which is a generic fatal error during installation or uninstallation.

解析度

1. Enable Windows Firewall Service.
      Open "services.msc"
      Locate Windows Firewall (or Windows Defender Firewall).
      Set Startup type to `Automatic` and start the service.
      Then retry uninstall.
2. Retry Uninstall
      Use the original MSI or "Programs and Features."
3. If Firewall Cannot Be Enabled.
      Use MSI property override to skip firewall custom action:

      cmd
       msiexec /x {ProductCode} REMOVEFIREWALL=0 /qn
 

Why Enabling Firewall Fixed It:

By enabling the "Windows Firewall service," the MSI could successfully run the firewall-related custom actions and remove the exceptions.
Alternatively, skipping the firewall custom action using `REMOVEFIREWALL=0` bypassed this step, allowing the uninstall to finish.
