Cause

Limitations of the current build do not allow to update the listed components that were installed on "per-user" basis.

Solution

There are two possible workarounds:

  1. Extract the components that fail and install them through command prompt by issuing the following command:

    2. msiexec.exe /i PackageName.msi ALLUSERS="1" ADDLOCAL=ALL

  2. Uninstall the failing components and then install them from the installation package of the new build:
    • Uninstall all of the listed components that were installed in the system from Control Panel:

      Windows 2000/XP/2003: Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs
      Windows Vista/7/2008: Control Panel -> Programs and Features

      The components to uninstall are:

      Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Bootable Media Builder
      Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console
      Acronis Backup & Recovery 10       Agent for ESX/ESXi Virtual Appliance
      Acronis Backup & Recovery 10       Wake-on-LAN Proxy

      (!) This will not affect the already configured/scheduled backup plans.

      Launch installation of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Build 11639. Choose Modify and check the components that have been uninstalled in the previous step.

      The installation of the update should be successful.
