This program is holding some virus like qualities. You are not allowed to install a free version only a paid one, when the program sneaks in through something else it'll force you to see an error everytime you turn on your computer.

Nice try Craig. I found a fix and felt it was important to post; http://support.microsoft.com/mats/program\_install\_and\_uninstall click on this link and click run, let it troubleshoot for you but you select the files to delete (something along the lines of that, it was the second option) after that is done it will show you guessed it "StrongVault" or "Strong Hold" click on that and let it uninstall and clean up. Restart your computer you will be good to go.

The link provided does not install anything I checked. It is also through Microsoft. Let me know if this helps!

Last Craig, cut your **** if when your program is searched in google and the first link is to uninstall you seemingly screwed up. First time posting thought I would help. Gabe.

I suddenly found this "strongvault" program on my computer after installing "VLC Media Player".  It has caused havoc.  I now have error messages when I am trying to open important programs for mmy business.  It has also caused a fatal error and has stopped "SOS messaging from working.  Anybody know what I can do about this.  Why don't the people at "Strongvault" or Stronghold, or whoever they are have a large box asking whether you want to install their program before allowing it to just try to commandeer your system??? Some programs now tell me the data cannot be found and has been moved to a different location.  I believe this may have legal ramifications, since the moved information is propriety and confidential... I need immediate help before I contact the legal channels for this mess.  I hope the folks at microsoft can help!

We do not do anything that would cause files from other programs to be moved or deleted. It sounds as though the messages you are seeing are referring to the Strongvault uninstaller not being found, which is part of the Windows installer glitch others have reported in this thread. Use Microsoft's FixIt app first to try and resolve the problem:

If you are still having problems after trying both of these, please contact me directly at craig[at]stronghold.com with as many details as possible on what you are experiencing.

Thanks.

Craig

Hi Penney,

Which version of Windows are you using?

You can do a system restore to before you deleted the program:

For XP

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084

For Vista

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-is-System-Restore

For Windows 7

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/system-restore

Also, if this is the Strong Vault you are talking about, here is instructions on how to remove it:

Hope this helps!

    Dear Craig,

    I used to work for Fifth Generation Systems in Baton Rouge Louisiana, we produced utility software for PC back in the 80s and I know how frustrating it is to have a product that goes haywire when installed in such a myriad environments coupled with a patched up operating system like Windows &.  My issue occured just like these folks you been fighting with a i-7-930 intel x64 with Windows 7 Professional.

    Apparently the installation/uninstallation was coy and not a clean one.  I suggest you rewrite the uninstallation and make abundantly clear to us dummies when we install a product that has a piggyback utility such as yours.

    The symptoms where when you clicked (right clicked) on a file, the installer came up (windows installer) looking for the strongvault.msi I believe, and you had to cancel a couple of times before you could see the "properties" windows to do what you wanted to do.   This situation takes away  the merit of having developed a nice online backup choice to compete with Skydrive (that is plaged with bugs as well) and others but you need to hire a little more propeller heads to test your product more thouroughly.

    I hope people try to understand that there are millions! of millions of combinations of installations that a program has to contend with along with the ignorance or simply non expertise of the installing public; so chill out and simply ask for a solution with by the way one folk above mentioned and it works: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/program_install_and_uninstall 

    One more thing, if we make it absolute and foolproof we would NEVER get to try these wonderful new inventions or innovations so be kind where kindness attracts more honey bees than flies.

    Sincerey,

    ERCarrera
