Emby Server for Windows: MSI installer missing?

[GeorgeCalli 19]

I’ve got a new Windows 11 PC and want to move my Emby Server setup from the old Windows 10 machine.

But when I download Emby Server for Windows, I only get the portable ZIP version.

Where is the proper Windows installer (MSI) that installs Emby Server as a Windows service?”

Where are you looking for it? What are you downloading exactly?

https://emby.media/windows-server.html is the download location.  There is a big Download button which download the setup.exe installation file and FYI, Emby does NOT have a built-in option to 'run-as-a-service'.  I use NSSM (Non-Sucky Service Manager) to create the service.  On that page are the optional, portable downloads.

Hi, once you've installed Emby Server, you can learn how to set it up as a service here:

Thanks everyone for the quick and helpful responses.

I realised I was confused about the Windows service part - I didn’t actually need it at all.

The normal Windows installation was correct, and everything is now up and running properly.

Appreciate the prompt assistance from all of you.
