Uninstalled couple of times and Reinstall still getting the same Error and also tried below workarounds:

sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;  
GO  
RECONFIGURE;  
GO  
sp_configure 'Agent XPs', 1;

RECONFIGURE  
GO


[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\SQLServerAgent] PATH is Correct

Can you please share with you if have any fix for this issue.
