AB12 Update 3 Failure to Install - RESOLVED
Hi,
Just tried to update my AB12 installation, which is:
Web console service: v.12.0.2607
Backup management server: v.12.0.3622
Backup management console: v.12.0.6081
Simple installation graphics comes up after downloading 100% using the Web Installer indicating "An error occurred" (see attached file).
According to the "View installation log" report (also attached as a text file), I am missing some file named "C:\Windows\Installer\101675.msi". Must have been the original installation with AB12, but is not longer in the directory/path called out in the Installation Log.
What are my options here? I do not want to reinstall everything from scratch...that's a mess! Can I use the full install version (AcronisBackup_12_64-bit.exe, 977MB) and have it "update" that way or this asking for more trouble?
Chris

Hi Andrey,
I do have a c:\windows\installer directory with full subdirectories. However, the installer subdirectory has a Hidden attribute...perhaps the AB12 Update 3 web installer could not find the installer subdirectory due to the attribute. I will try later to see if this works.

Hi Andrey,
If I go for the full AB12 uninstall and clean out all of the registry entries and files on the hard drive, what configuration files should I backup/keep so as to not loose login and other pertinent backup information I have?
Chris
BTW...Is there a tool Acronis has I can download that does a aggressive computer uninstall of the AB12 product prior to re-installing?

In order to avoid further problems with re-installation, it is not recommended to keep any entries. For v12 we don't have the celanup utility yet (expected soon), you could try the utility from 11.7 version. Not sure if it will help: https://kb.acronis.com/abr115cleanuptool
