Problem after upgrading to build 6571

Thread needs solution

So I got the notification to upgrade, and I let it upgrade, but after the upgrade, I'm no longer able to Launch the user interface to make changes to backup options and such.

No user interface at all.

I tried uninstalling, restarted the PC

then installed from clean build 6571, and the problem persist.

 

I'm about to try and install an older version to see If I can get the user interface menu to show up again.

If your actions do not resolve this, then please try the following:

Perform a clean install of ATIH 2016

First uninstall the program via the Control Panel (or use an uninstaller such as Revo).

Run the Acronis Cleanup Tool (link in my signature below), then restart the computer.
Note: The KB document for the Cleanup Tool refers to checking for entries in the Windows registry - I have ignored this step on the occasions I have used it with no detriment, though if making changes to the registry, I strongly advise either exporting the registry before the change(s), or create a System Restore point, or image the drive for protection.

Reinstall the ATIH software (download a fresh copy from your Acronis Account if needed or if you don't have the latest build version installer).  Run the install as an Administrator (right-click on the installer to take this option).
It is also recommended to suspend your security programs (antivirus, anti-malware etc) during the install as these programs can cause Access Denied errors for the Acronis installer program.

Note 1: If you have purchased an Upgrade version of ATIH 2016 you will be asked for two serial numbers during the install - one for 2016 and one for the previous version that the upgrade is based on, i.e. 2015.

Note 2: The cleanup tool will remove all your backup tasks and task history.  If you want to protect this information, then open C:\ProgramData\Acronis\TrueImageHome\ in Windows Explorer - this may be hidden on some systems - if so, go to the Folder option in the View pane and enable hidden files & folders).

Save a copy of the Database and Scripts folders to another location to restore back later.

Note 3: In order to restore the above folders & contents, you must stop all Acronis Services & Programs else you will encounter locked files in the Database folder.

installing older build also didn't work, the upgrade corrupted the install.

 had to use the clean up tool to remove everything and start from scratch.

I.T. Slick, 

Did that Work?

 

Also Steve,

when you go into acronis you have the option of adding back-ups will this do the same thing as trying to save your back-up info as you direct?

 

Kurt, only partially.  If you import a back-up, it puts it in the console so that it can be restored.  However, in order to continue with new backups from an added task, you have go through and configure it (source, destination, backup type, schedule, exceptions, etc).

Cleanup tool is basically desinged to wipe Acronis off the system, including services, registry keys, etc. that Windows uninstaller may still leave behind.  After running it, reboot and it should be like a fresh install when you re-install again.

Yes, I got it working after using the Clean Up tool, and then Re-installing Acronis Newest version
