Unable to install

Hi,
Am unable to install Acronis True Image, 9.0. I receive following error message : "The installation was interrupted before Acronis True Image could be installed. You need to restart the installer to try again."
My OS is WIN98SE.
What should I do to install successfully ?
Thanks for your suggestions.

 

Try running chkdsk /r on your drive then do the install afterwards.

 

Hi DwnNdrty,
I did a SCANDISK, but no go, same error message.
Anything else I could do to install Acronis True Image, 9.0 ?

 

Calling all those with better memories -
Wasn't there something about the need to delete certain temp files when this happens?

 

Not your version, but see if this is of any use:

Hi TheWeaz,
I went to the thread you mentioned (t=201306).
- I disabled the antivirus and firewall software.
- I ran the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility; Acronis True Image did not figure in the list.
- I didn't do the manual uninstallation of Acronis True Image 11 Home, as the procedure given is not for Windows98SE. I did look in the register; I ran RegCleaner, and also looked for the entries mentioned in the manual uninstllation procedure. There is no Acronis entry whatsoever.
I tried again to install Acronis True Image, but same story, "unable to install".

What should I do now ?

 

Hi TheWeaz again,
I attempted to install manually the program. I received an error message advising that some of the parameters of the installation instruction were incorrect. Following is the installation instruction that I gave :
"msiexec /i E:\Acronis\acronistrueimage+notice(2)\acronis true image + notice\Acronis (D)\Demo\TrueImage\AcronisTrueImage.msi /l*v E:\Acronis\Log File\log".

I think I know why the install was not successful : that MSI file is for the installation of Acronis True Image, rev.10, which cannot be installed on a WIN98SE platform. And the two other MSI files in the extracted files are also for the installation of rev.10.

I attempted another manual installation using the following instruction :
"msiexec.exe /i E:\Acronis\acronistrueimage+notice(2)\acronis true image + notice\Acronis (D)\TrueImage\AcronisTrueImage.msi ADDLOCAL=ALL PIDKEY=wpwct83yck3hmecfuq7vn6xqf /qb+", but also the same error message.

What should I do now ?

 

Sorry, but that's all I've got. I had problems installing an older version/build (can't remember which one) and stopping the AV and clearing the temp files fixed it.

Hi Marat,
Am unable to download the upgrade 3854.
I click on the "Register" alongside that upgrade; then I get another screen which says "Products Registration

Please enter the serial number or numbers (one per line) for each Acronis product you have not registered yet:".
And that's all.

I did register beforehand my program, license no. (Removed for privacy reasons. Marat Setdikov.), and when I click on "My account", it does show my program "Acronis True Image OEM Installation".

Please advise on how I can install my program on my computer whose OS is WIN98SE.

 

You should not put your Licence number on a public forum.

 

Hello coincoin,

We are sorry for delayed response.

For new builds of OEM versions, please contact the vendor from which the software was received (if the vendor has a website, latest versions may be available there).

Thank you.
