Hello. Thanks for reporting this.

What OS are you using and what is the last installation that worked fine for you? Thank you!

[jojoke]

OS Windows-10 X64 Anniversary update (no problems for Windows installation or already installed programs)
Prévious (still working) working version: 16.00.61 (file version 16.0.61.0)

Interesting, can you please try uninstalling that version of PA and installing latest one? Quite possibly it is old version that is causing the issue. We can obviously always supply old setup if need be.

Error itself is erroneous, we use Win10 on all of our computers in the office.

I vaguely remember someone complaining about similar issue 10+ months ago, which is when that version was released. It might be related, maybe @Mili will know more when he logs in to work next week.

Thanks!

Indeed I do’nt have anymore the install program of this previous version.
One of the problem is that the de-installation also require a missing temporary file.
Anyway I have a personal backup (not the Windows one) that can restore the actual old version.

I can send you link to old version, just let me know. Thanks!

[jojoke]

I would first uninstall the actual version (restore still possible with my backup).
Yes Send me this link.

Hello,

I’ve the same problem. I’ve installed Version 16.02.04 (03/2016).

My system:

Windows XP SP3 x86 2GB RAM

I can not install newer versions of PA because the problem with the file “paultil.exe”!

I hope you can fix this problem.

Best regards,

Thomas

@thomas-k

please uninstall the current version, restart your computer and install the latest version from the following link;
http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2016/powarc161024.exe

Does that help?

[thomas-k]

The problem is that I can not uninstall the old version anymore. Is there a special uninstall tool?
Or I have to try an uninstaller like “Revo Uninstaller”?

[Brian Gregory]

@thomas-k Reinstalling the old version (16.00.61 if I understand correctly) over the top doesn’t work or doesn’t help you uninstall?

[thomas-k]

Thanks. I’ve solved this problem now.

Because I could not uninstall PA, I’ve used “Revo Uninstaller”.
I’ve deleted all registry entries and files. After this I have started
with PA 16.02.04 and then installed all versions up to 16.10.24.

Best regards,

Thomas
