Hello,

1. First of all make sure you have correct system date/time and the setup program is not corrupted (try do re-download it).

2. Check if the digital signature is OK - right button click on installatoin file, as it is shown on the screen: http://i.imgur.com/KCQLMRp.png 

3. If something is wrong with the signature, here are instructions how to install sertificate in system: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754841(v=ws.11).aspx . + http://www.sqlservermart.com/HowTo/Windows_Import_Certificate.aspx .

Required certificate is here: https://www.symantec.com/content/dam/symantec/docs/other-resources/verisign-class-3-public-primary-certification-authority-g5-en.pem 

Here is info about the certificate: https://www.symantec.com/theme/roots (Root3 - VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G5).

Hi,

Thanks for this Information.

One question, you post here a certificate. Is this the Acronis certificate which we have to install?

yes

Hi,

We tried your hint with the certificate in our Windows 2008 Server Servicepack 2. But without sucess. Do you or someone else have the 12.5 Agent installed on this kind of operating System? Could it be that that Special Windows patches are needed?

This system is supported by Acronis Backup 12.5: http://dl.managed-protection.com/u/backup/help/12.5/user/en-US/index.ht…

Please contact Acronis support for deeper investigation.

Hi,

In the meantime we found a way which fix the Problem.

 

 

Go into regedit, and navigate to:

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WinTrust\Trust Providers\Software Publishing

 

Find the key for State

 

Modify this key to Decimal 147360 (Hex is 0x00023fa0).

 

Now, try to install the Acronis Agent. Once completed, restore your registry, or modify the key value back to the original value.
