    New install of MP2.2.1 (TV-Server Only) on Windows Server 2012 R2. MP2 completes the initial install with no errors (I get the "Installation Complete" window).

    But when I go to launch the TV Server configuration after initial install, nothing happens. In task manager, I can see the TV Server configuration app running (using ~5-10% CPU), but the configuration window will never open.

    -
    I've installed the BDA patch and can confirm my tuner works with DVBviewer.​
    - Firewall is off​
    - Antivirus is off​
    - Disabled extra NICs​
    - Running as admins​

    Error from log file is as follows (continues to repeat init attempts):

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for the suggestion. Will check it out tonight (when I get off work) and see if the zip archive is the issue.

    So I'm not seeing an "Allow Access" content box anywhere. Can you explain with a little more detail please?

    That checkbox is not in Windows Server 2012 R2 content boxes. I'm installing as administrator, and I don't have any software restriction policies. DVBViewer installed fine, can view channels, and pulled EPGs as well. what does MP2 need on its first run (server only) that could be stopping it?

    Then things point to the BDA drivers. They are either the wrong ones or not correctly installed.

    Are you running 2012 in the Essential or Datastore version?

    I've got 2012 R2 Standard. Thanks for the link (I looked everywhere in the forums and documentation but couldn't find anything close)! I'll give the guide over there a try. I think the Essentials Media Pack may be the missing key.
