If you have working Rescue Media, then nothing you do to your version 7 installation or Windows will prevent it from working. I wonder if that V7 update is just screwed up and won't work, period? I image C: drive nightly, no problem as long as trying to install V8 doesn't hose up V7 and prevent me from using the rescue DVD to restore the disk image.Īnd JK, I've tried running the V7 update "as admin", even though I'm already an admin - doesn't matter, doesn't work - and the updater is supposed to have built in admin privileges to start with, shouldn't need to run as admin by hand - never had to do that with prior updates. Particularly the HDD containing the partitions you need to restore and the device containing the image you're going to restore from.īy JK - 24 February 2022 11:17 When you run the downloaded installer, try right-clicking the.
And before you update to v8, make sure your Rescue Media on a flash drive/optical discs boots and recognizes all your devices. If you're going to backup, be sure you back up ALL the partitions you need to start Windows, not just the Windows one. But, if you never try to use the software for its intended purpose, why have it? I can understand, though, you might be trepidatious about running a restore because you might be worried the restore won't work and you'll be worse off. If it fails, you can restore the backup made before v7 was done.
So you create a new Full or Incremental/Differential and then attempt to run the v8 installer. I always take an Incremental or a new Full before installing Reflect updates.
I'm not the only one having this problem - this thread is from Nov 2021 where users were running into the same "insufficient privleges" when trying to update V7: Help and advice greatly welcome (and needed!). Why am I getting these errors? I'd also like to update to V8 but I'm not offered it from within Macrium itself, I had to download is from the Macrium website - but I'm afraid to try to run it, because I think it will uninstall V7 first, then V8 will run into the same installation problems shown above and I'll be without Macrium - I think I could run the Rescue Disk and restore the prior day's image to get back V7, but there's no guarantee that will work. Sure enough, that directory didn't exist - I created it, gave ownership to SYSTEM, and still get the first error. Log on as administrator or contact your system administrator.Īn error occurred while attempting to create the directory:Ĭ:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Macrium The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Macrium. I have a paid for version of V7, tried to install the offered update "Macrium Reflect Package Download File version 73.5854.0", but when I try to install it I get these error messages:
