Unable to install trial version of Acronis Disk Director

Thread needs solution

I get the following error:

Error writing to file C:\WINDOWS\system32\snapapi.dll Verify that you have access to that directory

As far as I know, I'm an administrator on this machine. I have tried loading both nto "all users" and "this user only".

What OS are you using? If using Vista or Windows 7, have you tried right-clicking on the installer and selecting to run it as an administrator?

What build is the DD trial version you're trying to install?

Hello,

Thank you for posting your question, I will be happy to help.

According to the description, the program failed to install SnapAPI module. If the solution provided by Mudcrab didn't help, you can install this module separately.

Therefore, please perform the actions in the following order:

1) Install SnapAPI file. Reboot the computer. 

2) Install Acronis Disk Director Suite 10.0. 

Since we do not have a permanent link for this build of SnapAPI module, I am sending the link to you via Private Messages. 

Please let us know the results, we should be sure that the program runs flawlessly. If the provided information is not clear or if you have any other question do not hesitate to post them and we will be glad to answer.

Thank you.
