When I go to backup my database in Act Premium 2012, version 14.1.108.0, I get the following error message:
The following error occured during backup. The backup was cancelled. Could not load file or assembly 'Xceed.Zip,Version=3.7.8113.16100, Culture=neutral, Publickey Token=ba83ff368b7563cb or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
I looked through the support bulletins and did a Google search with key words from the error message, but have had no luck finding a solution.
Can anyone help me? Please note that I am a small business owner and not an IT person, so the simpler the solution, the better.
You'll need to determine if this is an issue with your database or the installation of Sage ACT!. Open the Demo database (or create a new database) and test backing it up. Successful or not?
Some things to look for:
- How large are the files associated with your database?
- How much space do you have available on your C: drive?
Correct, that indicates that it is not database specific, but rather installation/environmental in nature. Some things to try:
If this is a Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer, use the Run as administrator option to launch Sage ACT!. To do this:
- close Sage ACT!
- right click Sage ACT! icon > select 'Run as administrator'
- attempt to backup database
If that is not successful, try uninstalling/reinstalling the Sage ACT! program. You will uninstall through the Control Panel > 'Add or Remove Programs' or 'Programs and Features' (depending on OS). Reboot and reinstall. Open database > test creating backup.
Note: Always make sure you have the installation media before uninstalling.
