Bug installing (ver 2015 - windows 8.1 64b)

Thread needs solution

hello!

I wanted to point out that during the installation of the software, the variable "PATH environment" windows is overwritten with the value "C: \ Program Files \ Common Files \ Acronis \ SnapAPI \."

(where C is the system drive)

This value should be added to the default values ("% SystemRoot% \ system32;% SystemRoot%;") and not replace them.

This causes problems when using the Windows command line (cmd.exe), windows displaying at times mistakes. Windows can not find certain commands.

I fixed the problem, I wanted to report. I do not know where you can report bugs.

Otherwise, no software malfunction.

This is a very interesting find NgocHo! Could explain quite a few quirks to the 2015 version. I take it by your post that you, after installation, copied the TI "PATH environment" variable, then deleted it and replaced it with the original Windows version then, added the TI variable back into the path specified?

That is indeed an interesting find. I don't use TI2015 (to stay happy) but checked my Path and found two errors in it. One even related to a (most probably) failed TI installation which had added an invalid, scrambled snapapi path. Thanks!

I loaded a clean installation image of Windows 8.1 Update into a VM and installed only True Image 2015 build 6525 and checked the PATH environment variable.

Before True Image installation:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\

After True Image installation:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Acronis\SnapAPI\

So... maybe another program messed up your PATH environment variable.

I would scroll across to the left in the PATH system variable in the 'Edit System Variable' dialogue box to make sure %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot% etc. aren't hidden to the left.

If the PATH system variable is in fact just 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Acronis\SnapAPI\' and nothing else, then TIH2015 has been naughty. Another bug found.

I've checked my PATH variable and it still has %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Acronis\SnapAPI\ etc. in it.
