Cause
The C$ share was missing due to some reason.
Solution
In this case recreating the administrative share "C$" and then re-running the installation resolved the issue. Running the pre-install check pin-pointed the issue.
Run the NetBackup pre-install check on the master server and it will show you the exact problem that is causing this error.
