In network protocols and software serialization, packets are assigned hexadecimal identifiers to declare their purpose. translates to 150 in decimal.

The room went dark.

Security software often inspects deep packets. If it strips away or misinterprets a portion of the 0x96 packet during inspection, the installer reads it as misformatted.
