When I attempt to upgrade my current version of Emby Server (3.0.5821.0) which is working properly, I am met with a "Cannot Start Application. Application cannot be started. Contact the application vendor." message. When I click on the Details button, I am presented with the following Diagnostic Report:

I have attached the most recent Emby Server log, but it probably won't reveal any information pertinent to this problem, because the version of Emby Server that I'm trying to update still starts correctly, without any problem.

Thank you Luke. Clearing the ClickOnce cache from the command prompt, as suggested in the link (rundll32 dfshim CleanOnlineAppCache) did the trick. I am very impressed with how quickly this was resolved. Your response was only 5 minutes after my initial post! I returned to the forum 1 hour later and saw your response, then implemented the first suggestion in the link you provided. After doing so, I then attempted to update Emby Server and found it ran successfully. I am grateful beyond measure for this exceptional support. Turn-around time, from initial report to resolution and getting my Emby Server running again was less than one hour. Amazing! ***** Five Stars
