Bug installing (ver 2015 - windows 8.1 64b)
hello!
I wanted to point out that during the installation of the software, the variable "PATH environment" windows is overwritten with the value "C: \ Program Files \ Common Files \ Acronis \ SnapAPI \."
(where C is the system drive)
This value should be added to the default values ("% SystemRoot% \ system32;% SystemRoot%;") and not replace them.
This causes problems when using the Windows command line (cmd.exe), windows displaying at times mistakes. Windows can not find certain commands.
I fixed the problem, I wanted to report. I do not know where you can report bugs.
Otherwise, no software malfunction.

That is indeed an interesting find. I don't use TI2015 (to stay happy) but checked my Path and found two errors in it. One even related to a (most probably) failed TI installation which had added an invalid, scrambled snapapi path. Thanks!

I loaded a clean installation image of Windows 8.1 Update into a VM and installed only True Image 2015 build 6525 and checked the PATH environment variable.
Before True Image installation:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
After True Image installation:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Acronis\SnapAPI\
So... maybe another program messed up your PATH environment variable.

I would scroll across to the left in the PATH system variable in the 'Edit System Variable' dialogue box to make sure %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot% etc. aren't hidden to the left.
If the PATH system variable is in fact just 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Acronis\SnapAPI\' and nothing else, then TIH2015 has been naughty. Another bug found.
I've checked my PATH variable and it still has %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Acronis\SnapAPI\ etc. in it.
