Installation/launching Issues

[ingco 0]

Hello,

Every few months, embyserver.exe and embytray.exe fail to start. 

I've been struggling with this for almost a year now, but usually been able to fall back on a portable installation to get things working but that's no longer working either.  I would really appreciate any help on this.

Running Windows 10

1) Running the windows server setup.exe, I always get the error:

An error occurred trying to download 'http://embydata.com/downloads/server/release8/MediaBrowser.Server.Installer.application'.

Checking the install log:

Launching Application.
URLDownloadToCacheFile failed with HRESULT '-2146697208'

At this point I just extract the portable installation into the proper directory, and things are hunky dory. Eventually, however, that;s not working anymore.

If I run the .exe directly from the zip archive, it works, but not after it's been extracted to the computer.

I wonder if this may be a security setting of some sort on your machine - due to the fact that url is http instead of https...
