Datto RMM : Install error: Products string contains illegal characters

Hi all,

Have an issue crop up with deployment of Sophos via Datto RMM Monitor.  This error occurred when running the Sophos RMM monitor, but so far installations have worked fine when running the Component as a Quick Job.

Main error appears to be at the bottom: 
2022-07-18T20:52:44.7294924Z ERROR : Exception: Products string contains illegal characters

but as mentioned, works fine when run as a Quick Job.
