@KoloheWiz:

The latest release - PA 2016 - will not complete installation. No matter what it ends with the “The specified account already exists” error. I start the update process using the Check For Update button under Configuration>Auto Update. The new version downloads and begins to install but stops abruptly with the “The specified account already exists” error.

I have a screenshot and the log file but no way to post them here. I have no URL to post the image to because I do not own any domains. IMHO, that should NOT be the only way to add an image or log file to a forum post as there are more people without a domain than ones that do. For that matter, “Insert Image” doesn’t mean the same as “Insert Image Link” which is what the button should read for accuracy purposes.

This usually means something is wrong with your Windows Installer, usually setup repository got wiped out.

Try cleaning PowerArchiver entry from Windows Installer database by using MSI Clean Up tool:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/windows_installer_cleanup_utility.html

That should delete PowerArchiver previous version from registry and then you should be able to install new one.

As to the images - in the future, you can use imgur.com to post links to image files, They are very reliable and great image host.

thanks!

Awesome spwolf, was having the same problem but after using windows installer cleanup and deleting Power Archiver I’ve been able to reinstall and it works great.

The problem has come back or was never fixed. I cannot uninstall PA 2015 due to the same “The specified account already exists” which stops the uninstall process. Here’s the screenshot: . Since PA2015 can’t be uninstalled, it creates other issues with PA2016 such as windows explorer crashes when right-clicking. FYI - using the MSI cleaner tool didn’t help the problem.

The solution was to download the Microsoft install cleaner which you can do HERE. This tool will work on Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10. Remember that you MUST run this as an Administrator.

The execution of a wix package from a bundle outputs “error 1316: The specified account already exists” during upgrade.
