Gentlemen,
A few comments. When installing Acronis you are typically given the option to allow Everyone or Only the user profile you are installing the program under. Select Everyone.

Permissions can be tricky. I would suggest installing the program as administrator or as a user with local administrator permissions on the machine.

If you encounter problems running the program as a limited user with standard windows permissions, I would Right-click on the Acronis executable and "Run As Administrator". Enter the credentials and always have the program run with administrator permissions.

This should allow the program to run under a limited user account.

Note: if you have made any non standard changes to folder permissions the above may not work.

Agreed, In fact, I think this is good practice when installing any application
