Server updates failed

[ZeroGee 1]

Hi all,

 

Just tried to update Server to 3.2.24 on wIndows 10, but got a window called "Cannot start application" with an information message message saying "Appication cannot be started. Contact the application vendor" .

 

An extract from the log says the following

 

"ERROR SUMMARY
    Below is a summary of the errors, details of these errors are listed later in the log.
    * Activation of http://embydata.com/downloads/server/release3/MediaBrowser.Server.Installer.application resulted in exception. Following failure messages were detected:
        + Activation failed.
        + The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)

COMPONENT STORE TRANSACTION FAILURE SUMMARY
    No transaction error was detected.

Can anyone assist?

Well I think something on your side is blocking it, sorry. You can always use the portable install method which is also on the download page of the website.

Tried to upgrade again this time with Norton uninstalled, and Windows Defender turned off. Same result. Any thoughts on what else could be blocking it?

 

Also looked at the portable install. Downloaded and ran as advertised. Downloaded and ran 3.2.23, and watched it successfully upgrade itself to 3.2.24, no problem.

 

I usually run Emby as a Windows service. Can the portable version be used that way?

Yes, but something is probably blocking the installed version based on the path to the executable, and sooner or later it may happen to your portable setup too.

... and then a miracle. It seems to have updated itself. I didn't do it, in fact I was getting ready to nuke the machine back to bod-standard Windows 10 when I noticed this.

 

Go figure.

 

Many thanks for your time and attention.

Thanks for the feedback.
