Backupper Std installer throws error: IPersistFile:::Save failed
The Installer throws the following error at the end of the installation process:
IPersistFile::Save failed; code 0x80070002
The system cannot find the file specified
Clicked OK to finish the installation.
Backupper Standard worked fine after creating a disk backup onto an external backup hard drive.
Backupper didn't throw a set up error after the initial installation process and it didn't throw the error after creating an initial disk backup
The external disk was initially set up to MBR style. The partition style was initially thought to be GPT. To make the change, the external drive was re-formatted with Windows Disk Management to change from MBR to GPT .
After the set up to GUID Partition Table, a new disk backup was created. This is when the Installer threw the error.
The same error re-occurred again just 2 days ago after updating the version of Backupper Standard from version 5.0 to 5.1
The only site found with the same identical error was on GitHub on this site. No resolution was posted.
This set up error is not listed on aomeitech.com as of this writing.
A resolution would be appreciated.

I don't understand the whole point of this exercise
Taking everything into account I explained before in detail, what was this supposed to resolve?
This message only appears one time during each unistall. Clicked 'Yes' to uninstall. Checked the program had been completely uninstalled in the installation directory C:\ProgramFiles (x86)\Aomei Backupper. The entire folder becomes removed. The only other two folders are: Aomei and AomeiBR - both of which remain after the uninstalls in C:\ProgramData\ . The files in Aomei BR have nothing to do with the installation program.
The particular 'error' messages mentioned from your link never appeared. FYI the IPersist File:::Save Failed error does not only occur just when installing a new version of the program. The error occurs with every attempt to install the program with one exception when the program was initially installed the very first time (see my original post)
The operations programmed into associated extensions as executable can be the underlying cause of the setup error.
If you are asking about a different directory path of associated program files, then you need to be much more specific when asking your question. The entire list of program files and folders within C:\Program Files (x86)\Aomei Backupper consist of 319 files and 34 folders
An executable 'Backupper.exe' also exists for product version 5.0.0.0 in the directory path C:\Program Files (x86)\Aomei Backupper\Winpe64 captured below.
These are the events leading up to when the error first happened in step by step sequence :
1.) Connected a brand new 2TB external HDD pre-formatted in FAT32. Windows Disk Management selected MBR as the default partition style. Installed Aomei Backupper Std for the first time.
2.) Created a Drive backup of the second internal system HDD with Backupper Standard.
3.) Discovered the partition style that Windows selected by default for the external HDD was MBT. Desired to change the partition style from MBR to GPT.
4.) Un-installed Aomei Backupper.
5.) Performed a long re-format in NTFS of the external HDD with Windows Disk Management. After the re-format completed, the partition style was selected to GPT.
6.) Re-installed Backupper. The "IPersistFile" set up error occurred during installation.(refer to screen shots in post)
This error occurred only after the re-installation of Aomei Backupper Standard and after the steps were performed to re-format from FAT32 to NTFS and then change the partition style from MBR to GPT.
The set up error re-occurs now whenever going through the process built in to the backupper program to un-install and re-install Backupper. If Admin knows how to correct this set up error then please list the procedural steps that will resolve this . Unless Admin needs some additional clarification, any other response that is not going to include a procedure will not be helpful. The one line and no content responses that have been provided thus far are not of any help.
