SupportAssist for Business PCs won't install

Created a deployment for SupportAssist for Business PCs - the .exe version. Now I try to install it on a client. Open a CMD prompt with admin permissions and execute " \SupportAssistx64.exe" TRANSFORMS=" \SupportAssistConfig.mst" DEPLOYMENTKEY="abcdef"

It's busy for a while and then the prompt returns. The I wanted to  run the SupportAssist self-diagnosis test. And it's not there. Only some .tmp files. Hmm. In Explorer, I open C:\Program Files\Dell\SupportAssistBusinessClient to see what's there - nothing. So I ran the command a second time. In Explorer, all files and folders appear. And after a minute, the installation is rolled back, removing all those files and folders.

Checked the Windows Application log. It lists these two errors two times:

and:

Executed the cleanup-script, but that doesn't make any difference.

Looks like there's something going on with .Net, but problems with that are very hard to tackle. So any ideas?
