Intel Data Center Tool 3.0.19 on ESXi 6.7 not working.

I installed the DCT onto my ESXi 6.7 Server and when I try running the tool it gives me this output.

 

/opt/intel/isdct/isdct show -intelssd

Error: Invalid or corrupted configuration file: /opt/intel/isdct/isdct_config.xml

 

The isdct_config.xml is a 0kb file.

 

The version command seems to work correctly.

/opt/intel/isdct/isdct version

- Version Information -

Name: Intel(R) Data Center Tool

Version: 3.0.19

Description: Interact and configure Intel SSDs.

 

Just wondering where I can go from here to troubleshoot.
