Thanks for the quick reply James.

I actually was tailing the file during the installation 
and as soon as the actionsvr error occurred, I ran nvstat. 
Nothing was running. I was able to start actionsvr (and 
nvsecd) manually. I also commented the rulesets in the 
ESE.automation file before this installation attempt. I'm 
going to try again in a moment with your suggestion to 
rename the file.
