Error Messages Are Displayed When Attempting to Upgrade Local Distributors and Remote Agents

You are editing a host in the host > details > edit window. If you select the include remote agent on this physical host option or the include local distributor on this physical host option, and select the update or prepare host with most recent system updates or services option, an error similar to the following is displayed:

Unable to find upgrade packages to upgrade "Remote agent" on host 
"masterserver" from version "5.2" to "5.2.1". (042018)

Workaround: To prevent this error, do not select the update or prepare host with most recent system updates or services option when editing the host. After the Remote Agent or Local Distributor has been added, use the Prepare Host link in the Hosts window to update the system services.
