As per recommendation of Makeuseof.com I tried to download the backup & restore software from the Hekasoft.it website (https://www.makeuseof.com/dir/hekasoft-backup-restore-easily-create-backups-browser-profiles/).

But even after twice or thrice downloads by different methods the software refuses to install. After the file has been downloaded it has no propriety icon just a standard window one, & upon clicking it only shows a command-line box & disappears in a fraction of a second. Before you ask I have all the .NET frameworks installed right upto 4.5. Is anyone facing the same problem because I really need this software because whenever I open a browser it evidently fills up with a multitude of tabs which I work on.

Possibly it needs to run with elevated privileges - right click, select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR

Try to install java runtime (jre) or jsdk, somehow it may be the cause.

Suvrojit, try disabling your Anti-Virus Program and Firewall, just for the installation purpose and see what will happen, if you successfully install it, there was your problem. The website does not have a help section.
