    I uninstalled Acronis Privacy Expert 8 as I was told by the Acronis PES 9 version install program. After uninstall of ver 8, I was told to reboot and I did. Then when I go to install PES 9, everything looks like it is working, I go right on through, files are being installed, green bar goes all the way to right, a desktop icon appears.

    And then everything goes backward, desktop icon is taken off, it is like the uninstall program is running: The message appears:

    Installation Incomplete

    The installer was interrupted before Acronis Privacy Expert Suite could be removed. You need to restart the installer and try again.

    I have retried and retried. I have turned off all extra programs in task tray, vice protection, printer monitor, etc.

    Help.

    - Right-click on the "Install Acronis Privacy Expert Suite" button and select "Extract";

    Reinstall version 8. Uninstall version 8 from application settings not Add/Remove Programs. Install version 9. It seems that Add/Remove Programs does not completely uninstall and this causes a problem. Also when installing version 9, install for all users. Installing for only current user seems to be glitchy. That option was not available in version 8.
    Microsoft has a useful utility Windows Install Clean Up that completely uninstalls programs that it logs.

    Sorry that didn't work. I assume when you said to uninstall from application settings, you meant from the acronis folder, under the start -> programs?

    I did send in the request, and complied with #2 in the post, saved the system info and the log file of the attempted installation. Zipped the files and sent to tech support. I have gotten back two #'s 442293 and 435220. The first two basically say they got the request and are working on it. The last two look like gobbledygook:

    Bug -- direct link removed --

    -- confidential information removed --

    What is the above?
