Hello friends, sharing here an experience of mine while using Snagit, when I updated Snagit, error message was displayed on my screen, it is talking about an error occurred on .ini file, see below the error screen shot.

nvalid updates configuration file. The first line of the .INI file should be “;aiu;”

Invalid updates configuration file. The first line of the .INI file

should be “;aiu;”.

When I analyzed the error, it is referring to a .ini file about the first line that should be “;aiu;”. I don't remember doing some changes on .ini files, and I am not also a master on that field to touch it, on my last resort I scan my computer for some virus that might infect my .ini file, but none was found, please share your ideas on my problem, thanks a lot.

Hello Maryfalty,

After high research on Google I came to conclusion that this particular problem happens with the advance Installer . I hope that you are also using it. 

If You are using Advanced Installer then what you need to do is edit the "update configuration file " available over the server.

And you need to include the "; aiu" as the first line. Then you can continue the operation.

If you are not using the advance installer, then you should possibly try opening the update configuration file with some editor, prefer some good Multi editor from the internet and edit the first line as .aui.

Hope that answers the Question.

Snagit is offered as free trial. Try to uninstall and reinstall the program. Download the free version of Revo Uninstaller and install it. Once installed, start Revo then select Snagit among the applications and click “Uninstall”. Follow the normal uninstall process. When uninstall is complete, click “Scan” to scan your computer for any leftover files and delete everything it finds.

This removes everything the program created on your computer. When it is finished, exit Revo then install Snagit back. If this doesn’t work, download the latest trial version. Visit the Snagit home page and download the latest free trial.

The latest version at the moment supports Windows 7 Service Pack 1, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 including Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2016. It requires 2.4 GHz or faster processor, 1 GB RAM, and 1 GB free space. For video capturing, 4 GB RAM is required. Snagit also requires that you install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 or higher prior to installation.

Note: the trial version works only for fifteen (15) days.
