Cannot remove/reinstall v10

My upgrade to V11 got fouled up... I seemed to have confusion/overlapping services between installed v10 software and new v11 upgrade. I also had to do a full Acronis restore during this process - so that may have created problems as well.

So.. I have completely removed v11, and am now trying to remove v10...then I will install v11 and (hopefully) be back to normal. BUT..when I try to Modify/Repair/Uninstall with 10 (using a new full v10 image dowloaded from Acrons) the Acroniss software gets to about 90% on the bar graph, then shows a Fatal Error and says to retry. I cannot get beyond this - what should I do?

Thanks

 

i'm having the EXACT same problem, except for when i try to uninstall v11 it says the installer was interrupted and i have to restart the installation process.

 

Thanks for the info. I think I have that same message. (FYI - the PC I am working on is remote - and I did not connect to verify the error - I was going by memory.) Anyway - still looking for a solution.

 

Download and run the windows installer cleanup utility http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301. Point it at the TI install in the list and let it do its thing.

 

Perhaps you should consider creating a primarly Windows only partition as a BASE for utilities and such.

One solution is to put Acronis on it's own dedicated partition-- no Nero needed with TI10 or DD10. This partition is mostly Windows SP2 and updates.

It takes only about 4 minutes to re-image for a 4 gig partition (after much testing 4 gigs is usually plenty for this type of Base partition (on my machine at least) with XP and Firefox {make sure you add a "CC Cleaner" type utility to keep it lean}. Then add new versions easily and confidently.

Perhaps 10 minutes longer than if a good version were to uninstall correctly but much less time if the uninstall is troublesome ( or sometimes impossible without extensive search-and destroy tactics).

No need to worry if the registry and other files are actually cleaned up or not. Worth the effort in my experience.
