Unable to install Emby Server on WHS 2011 - Help Please

[JulesC 44]

I'm trying to install Emby Server on my Windows Home Server (WHS) 2011, but I keep encountering an error that prevents me from installing Emby.

 

Error Details: see attached screenshot. Note: I've also attached the log file the screenshot's referring to.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I guess it's .Net Framework 4.6.

Just download and install it the manual way.

Did you "Disable Internet Explorer Enhanced Security"

pünktchen, thanks for your quick response.  This is my "guess" from a brief scan of the log, but wasn't 100%.

 

If I install .Net Framework 4.6 manually, will this help me bypass the error I'm encountering.  I guess what I'm asking is that will the Emby Server installation recognize that it's already installed and proceed with the installation?

 

Thank you for your help.

Yes if it's installed already, Emby's setup should recognize it.

The log basically says a failed download.

Thank you for this suggestion, as this was the solution I was looking for.  I've installed the Emby Server and re-enabled the "Internet Explorer Enhanced Security".  Thanks again.

Don't forget to add the emby domains as 'Trusted Sites' or updates will likely fail.  Having just done this myself you'll need :-

 

http:\\*.embydata.com

https:\\*.emby.media

https:\\*.github.com

https:\\github-cloud.s3.amazonaws.com

 

.. this was for a Stand Alone install so there may be others...

Rbtech, thank you for your suggestions.  Very helpful.  I haven't done this yet, but I thought when you add sites as "Trusted Sites" they had to start with "https:\\" or it would be rejected.  Am I thinking of this correctly?

 

To others in the forum,

If you have Emby installed on Windows Home Server or some other Windows Server, do you know if there are other Emby domains that I should include as "Trusted Sites"?  Thank you.

Just untick the 'require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone' in the Trusted Sites dialog box and you can then add http sites without issues.  Only add sites you genuinely trust
