pbutler Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I have updated several of my computers to Windows 10. On one machine I had recently installed Retrospect 10 and then upgraded the machine to Windows 10. The Retrospect client transferred to the new operating system without a problem. On two other machines I did a clean install of Windows 10. I have tried to run the Retrospect Client installation program on each of these machines, but the install program hangs at the 'Installing Retrospect Client 10.0' screen. The status bar remains empty for several minutes until finally I get a new screen with a message that 'the wizard was interrupted before Retrospect Client 10.0 could be completely installed'. I have tried installing as an administrator and tried installing in Windows 8 Compatibility Mode. But I can never get past the 'Installing ...' screen. How do I proceed to install the Retrospect 10.0 Client on a Windows 10 machine? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scillonian Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Have you got the Cumulative Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3081424) installed? From this post the installation of this update solved this problem for another user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scillonian Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Update: Just tried installing the Retrospect 10 Client on a Windows 10 Pro 64-bit install on an old HP notebook. The install failed in the same manor as above. The Windows 10 install is up to date with all available updates. The only way to exit the installer was to end it with Windows Task Manager. Checking the Windows Event Log revealed the following three entries relating to the Client installation. The first references the launch of the MSI Installer: Log Name: Application Source: MsiInstaller Date: 2015-08-10 20:23:50 Event ID: 1040 Task Category: None Level: Information Keywords: Classic User: TIBBS-NB\JohnLegg Computer: Tibbs-NB Description: Beginning a Windows Installer transaction: \\BOXER\Public\Applications\Retrospect\Retrospect for Windows\Retrospect_10_0_2_119\Retrospect 10\Client\Windows\Installer\Retrospect Client 10.0.msi.

mastercam Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Are you installing over the network? Have you tried installing from a local folder? Taking the network out may or may not help, though it may remove that variable. Though it could be graphics related. Since we'll be doing Win10 upgrades soon, I will be keeping an eye on this thread! thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scillonian Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I was trying to install over the network which has never given any problems before. I copied the Client installer to the local drive and tried the install again. The end result was the same except this time a dialog appeared after clicking Install: Unhandled Exception Error Number: 0x80040707 Description: ISRT.__ReleaseObjectContext [OK] Clicking OK in this dialog only seems to close it and Task Manager was still required to abort the install. I'm speculating here but I think, from watching successful installs in the past, that the install is crashing at the point where the check is made for Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable and install if not present. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you checked. I've noted network install issues(with other software, in the past)...and doing it locally sometimes resolves or as in this case, produces a better 'error'!

Scillonian Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Did some more experimenting and manually installed Visual C++ 2005 but it made no difference trying to install using setup.exe. Running the Retrospect Client 10.0.msi file directly does result in an install occurring but there are several error messages during the install about not being able to write to registry keys. After a restart of Windows 10 the Client appears to be working but is not reachable from the Backup Server (Piton or direct). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastercam Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Hi - Any updates? We are installing it on a Dell Win10 machine, and having issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scillonian Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 If you contact Support they can supply an updated installer. (From a post by Mayoff.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insixdays Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 I got around this problem by setting compatibility mode for setup.exe, Retrospect Client 10.0.msi to Windows 7 and instmsia.exe and instmsia.exe to Windows XP sp2. Also had setup.exe set to run as Administrator. Also, I may have started the install using the MSI instead of the setup.exe. But I am having a problem with the firewall settings.

sparky4460 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 I have had all the same problems and tried most of the same solutions including trying the new client Retrospect sent me. No success. Has anyone got this to work yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scillonian Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 If you haven't already found it Retrospect 10.5 is available from the the downloads page. (http://retrospect.com/support/downloads) The Retrospect 10.5 Client installed without issue on the HP laptop detailed above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
