ME-74How to Identify
This problem only happens on Windows 2008 R2 with Exchange 2010 SP1.
First, check the e2k7wiz.exe log. If the error is similar to this:
2010-08-09,23:33:28,268,1,"#000019EC","#00000003","info ","e2k7wizard","Creating runspace..."
2010-08-09,23:33:28,268,1,"#000019EC","#00000003","info ","e2k7wizard","Info : Invoking Command : Get-TransportAgent -Identity 'GfiAsRtSubmittedAgent'"
2010-08-09,23:33:28,283,1,"#000019EC","#00000003","error ","e2k7wizard","error: IsAgentRegistered exception: Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : The WinRM client sent a request to an HTTP server and got a response saying the requested HTTP URL was not available. This is usually returned by a HTTP server that does not support the WS-Management protocol. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic."
Then the issue can be resolved by adding a binding to IIS for port 80 with the loopback address (127.0.0.1).
If the installation command is executed manually and has following error, then it is a bug:
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Install-TransportAgent -Name 'GfiAsRtSubmittedAgent' -AssemblyPath 'D:\GFI\MailEssentials\Conte
ntSecurity.ExchangeAgents.gfiasrtsubmittedagent.dll' -TransportAgentFactory ContentSecurity.ExchangeAgents.GfiAsRtSubmi
ttedAgentFactory
Il tipo TransportAgentFactory "ContentSecurity.ExchangeAgents.GfiAsRtSubmittedAgentFactory" non esiste. Il tipo Transpo
rtAgentFactory deve essere il tipo di classe Microsoft .NET della factory dell'agente di trasporto.

Problem seems to be due to some Exchange 2010 SP1 issue according to this: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/akashb/archive/2010/11/19/getting-an-error-when-trying-to-install-a-transport-agent-that-is-built-with-exchange-2010-pre-sp-1-binaries-on-exchange-2010-sp-1.aspxWorkaround / Fix Details
