You should not install the RBS client library by double clicking the RBS_X64.msi (which will run the wizard). Instead, you must use the msiexec command to run the msi file. This is because running the wizard will set certain default values that are not recommended for SharePoint. technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748631.aspx In fact, in the article you are referencing in your question, they also mention this. – Hossein Aarabi Sep 7 '12 at 23:36
