[QUOTE="Mykl, post: 1268377, member: 164887"] I seem to be having the same issue, now. It all began when the server service stopped working... [wavy lines, fade to the (not so) distant past] I installed MP2.2.3 several weeks ago after updating from Win 7 to 10, Win 7 EOL so not more WMC. All has worked well until yesterday, relatively painless changeover. All existing media found & watchable, new recordings all ok. It started when I could not find all episodes of a show in a particular folder. Checking the folder with File Explorer showed they were there, and they used to be visible as far as I know. Tried restarting the HTPC, no luck. Also, now [I]NO[/I] media at all was visible in the MP2 client. Then while troubleshooting I found the server service was not running, & trying to restart it brought up an 'unable to start service' error message. Tried running a repair installation, failed with: [I]"Service 'MediaPortal 2 Server Service' (MP2-Server) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."[/I] Searching around I found some threads that mentioned that someone had it working with 2.1 but not 2.2, so I tried uninstalling & installing 2.1.3, same error. (The one Digsy linked.) Tried reinstalling 2.2.3, same again. Some threads mentioned another program service using the same port the server service uses. I couldn't find any so I tried a diagnostic start. No variation of them let the service start at install. Elsewhere there was a list of Windows repair options to try, DISM commands & the trusty SFC -scannow, but all they did was tell me Windows has no, (officially known), faults. It does seem that there were a couple of Windows Updates yesterday & I tried uninstalling them, the security update went, but Windows will not permit the other to be rolled back... (2020-02 Cumulative update for Windows 10 Version 1909 for x64 based systems KB4532693), no change. I can install the client by itself, but this is the HTPC that has all the media, and the quad TV tuner card, so I need the server service on this one. I went through the logs and it all seems to work properly until this point: [06E0:1AD0][2020-02-15T10:06:32]i301: Applying execute package: MainPackage, action: Install, path: C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{2ACAA36A-0E8B-416B-94D0-13E7CBD0C7AD}v2.2.1912.12158\MP2-Setup.msi, arguments: ' ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT="1" MSIFASTINSTALL="7"' [06E0:1AD0][2020-02-15T10:35:14]e000: Error 0x80070643: Failed to install MSI package.

Also tried copying that msi to the desktop & running it from there, and as Administrator. No luck. Tried running the compatibility troubleshooter, but after it failed, it just said "Incompatible program". So, any suggestions? I'm out of ideas. edit: Also tried installing MP1. It installs, but the TV Server service won't start, either. [/QUOTE]
