Update does not work!!!
I received notification several times that there is an update, but when trying to install the update it fails each time!!!
See attached screenshots!
My OS: Windows 7 x64 SP1
Of course I have deactivated my antivirus program Microsoft Security Essentials during the installation!

Steve, when I tried to uninstall TI2016 in the Control Panel, a message came up saying "No True Image components found" (see attached screenshot file uninstall.png). What now?
There are currently some Acronis Services (see attached screenshot file acronis_services.png). What should I do with them?

OK, I've followed the procedure with the cleanup utility, rebooted the computer and then installed Acronis 2016 from AcronisTrueImage2016_6571.exe.
Unfortunately, all backup configurations are gone. Instead some backup FILES are displayed in the backup configurations list. Isn't there a way to restore the backup configurations from the stored backups? After all, True Image is a BACKUP utility, isn't it...?
The cleanup utility also has "cleaned up" my installation of Acronis Disk Director 12! So I had to reinstall that too!
So, finally I have to say this: What a mess!! A software which is not able to update itself and repair itself! A "cleanup utility" which uninstalls other software products too! I wonder what kind of botchers are behind Acronis software development?

Peter, if you look again at my earlier instructions for doing a clean install, I advised that your backup tasks and history would be lost and how to save these before doing the clean up.
You can still restore the specific folders from your most recent backup image of your OS drive - see Note 2 above for the location and folders.
In the KB document for the Clean-up Tool, there is a note as follows:
If you have other Acronis products installed, the utility will damage their installation.
I would recommend using the Feedback tool (in Help) to make your frustrations with needing to use the clean-up tool and the need for the software to be able to update and repair itself etc. This has been raised by the MVP's in our own private forums but it always helps to have others to add their comments to the pot.
