Can't install on Windows Server 2012


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I'm currently on v. 3.1.4.0 and I cannot install the latest stable version (I think 3.2.1) on Windows 2012 R2 Essentials. When I run the setup file, it opens IE and then a View Downloads window but both close immediately and nothing happens. Event Viewer doesn't show anything and there is nothing in the Emby-InstallLogs folder. How would I go about troubleshooting this? Thanks.

 

Edit: I usually run Emby as a service so I opened it as an app instead and it showed that the latest version was installed and I was prompted to restart. After restarting, closing the app, and re-starting the service, I now have the latest version. Is there a known issue when updating while running as a service? I used to be able to stop the service, run the setup file, close Emby after it auto-runs and re-starting the service.

Hi, it might be due to IE advanced security settings that are generally enabled with Windows Server. You might need to disable those in order to run the installer. Thanks.

Thanks. I already have the Enhanced Security Configuration disabled. Looks like temporarily starting it as an app instead of service let's me update it so not gonna worry about it.
