NEED HELP Acronis Backup Server install fail

We did uninstall the backup server & reinstall again
but it fail to reinstall.

The install installation process bar go to end & roll back & show message "The installation was interrupted before Acronis Backup Server could be installed. You need to restart the installer to try again."

We found that there is a "Acronis Backup Server Service" remain in Control Panel

So we use regedit to search all name "Acronis Backup Server" & delete it. And reinstall again, but it also fail to install

Any suggestion ?

we are use Acronis True Image 9.1 Enterprise Server Build # 3854

Thanks

This is an FAQ. You need to empty your temporary directory(ies), e.g.:
C:\Documents and Settings\<login id>\Local Settings\Temp

Search the forum for more info if you need it.

We have the same issue with Acronis Workstation ECHO.. it's not possible to install the BackupServer. The same error.

In the moment, Acronis is not able to fix this issue.. we have allready send all possible logs etc and deleted all reg keys, folders and local user groups etc.

May anybody from this forum has a solution.. or Acronis was able to fix it in his environment..

Please post all ideas or solutions...
Thanks a lot

cheers

I gave up. The software doesn't install and the remote agents cost too much. I'm still using Backup exec 11d and Genie backup manager. http://genie-soft.com/

 

Hello All,

After reading the forums and seeing no real resolution for this "the installation was interrupted" (I am experiencing this on about 9 different servers) error, I contacted support and they sent me a file called SnapAPIsetup.msi asked me to install it first then try to install True Image. I ran the SnapAPIsetup.msi and during the install a pop up stating that the following services needed to be started to continue :

COM+ System Application
Distributed Transaction Coordinator

We have these set to "disabled" on some of our servers here at our site. Instead of enabling these and continuing with the SnapAPIsetup.msi install I canceled, set those services to manual, started them then ran the Acronis True Image install again. This time the Acronis Install finished with no problems. I am going to go ahead and try this on our other servers but I thought I would mention my experience in hopes it might help others.

BTW, In these cases I am trying to install Acronis True Image 9.1 on Windows 2003/2003R2 servers as an initial, FIRST TIME install.

 

Hi,

These services are on our test server enabled. But TI hast still the same issue.

Is it possible that I could download this tool SnapAPIsetup.msi from you..?

Thanks in advance

I am a long-time TrueImage user and fan. Yesterday I downloaded ATI 11 trial for my father-in-law. When I attempted to install on Vista Home Ultimate, I received the cryptic error:

"Installation was interrupted before TrueImage Home could be installed."

First, 10 lashes with a wet noodle to Acronis developers for allowing a fatal error to occur without proper explanation. Why couldn't it be installed? How do I fix it? Had I been an average user--instead of a TrueImage fan--I would've likely just given up, as you will notice many have done if you Google this problem.

But having used TrueImage for so long, I persisted. Here's what worked for me:

I shut off Vista UAC.

TrueImage installed perfectly. I was able to complete the install, and test TrueImage to ensure it works fine on his PC. Remember to turn UAC back on!

We ended up buying TrueImage 11 for my father-in-law. It should be noted that the registered version installed fine even with UAC still on, for whatever reason.

 

I have been having the same issue, and I have managed to install correctly without disabling Vista's UAC.

When it asks you if you want to install for "Just Me" or "Everyone", I was picking "Just Me". I picked "Everyone" and then it worked fine. Didn't delete my temp files or anything else.

Vista Business x64, UAC Enabled.
