Installation Error

Hi all, Ive ben using v10 for a while and have been reasonably happy. I've tried to upgrade to v10.0.4942, and I an receiving the error below, amd the installation aborts.
Running on winXP

This advertised application will not be installed because ot might
be undafe. Contact the administrator to change the installation user
interface option of the package to basic​

I've tried to uninstall the old version, but when I went to add/remove it said something like "the products installation database is corrrupt"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Cheers

 

Looks like some security software you have running is preventing the install.

 

Hello megaman,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software.

Please note that as DwnNdrty mentioned probably some security software preventing the install. Could you please temporary disable your security software? Please uninstall Acronis True Image manually. Have look at this post to find the instructions for manual uninstallation of Acronis True Image. Reinstall Acronis True Image 10.0 Home and provide us with results of reinstallation?

If the issue persists please collect the installation log file the way it is described in this previous post.

Could you please do the following?

- Launch the product installation file;

- Right-click on the "Install Acronis True Image" button and select "Extract";

- Select the path for extracting the component and click "Save";

- Go to the Run prompt (Start -> Run) and issue the following command:

msiexec /i msi-name /l*v log-name

Where msi-name is the name of the file you extracted in steps 2-3 and log-name is the path and the name to the log file you want to save the output to;

- Reproduce the problem and collect the log file created during the installation.

Please also create Acronis Report and Windows System Information as it is described in Acronis Help Post.
