ATI 2018 Installation Failure

Thread needs solution
To all,
  Reference: Customer Support "Case ID" 03301975.
  Installation fails after I select "Run" in the "pop-up" (that you can see in
my attachment below). After I press "Run", a small black DOS screen flashes
itself on the screen, disappears, and that's it. Any tips for getting TI 2018 will
be appreciated.
BTW, here I am attempting to "Upgrade" my ATI 2014 installation which is still
correctly installed and functioning properly on my Win 7-64 PC (to TI 2018).
  A copy of the Log created by my most recent installation attempt is also attached.
Thank you,
Ken

Ken, the general advice for upgrading to ATI 2018 from any versions older than 2016 is to uninstall the old version first.

See KB 60122: How to upgrade to Acronis True Image 2018 then scroll down to the section with the title: Upgrade procedure where it states:

If your current version of Acronis True Image is Acronis True Image 2017 or Acronis True Image 2016, the new version will simply update it; there is no need to remove the old version and reinstall the software. If your current version is older, we recommend that you remove the current version, first.

See also KB 46710: Acronis True Image: Installation Fails in Windows which covers a wide range of possible install issues and offers advice on how to resolve these.

The console log is from your ATI 2014 product and doesn't give any information about the failed install of ATI 2018 - see the above KB for information about collecting an install MSI log after you have removed the 2014 version.

Note: You may wish to save a copy of your C:\ProgramData\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Scripts folder before removing 2014 as this holds your current backup task configuration files (XML format .tib.tis files).  Alternatively, create a system backup of your Win 7 OS drive to allow you to recover back to your current system status if needed.
