[QUOTE="Brownard, post: 1290214, member: 48291"] Thanks, they show that the server doesn't seem to have permission to write to the programdata folder (although it did create the log file :confused: ) and therefore failed to start. The server runs under the SYSTEM account, can you check whether that account has full control for the C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\ folder, and if not give it to it? For instructions as to how to do that, see the 4th bullet point under Resolution [URL='https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/application-management/msi-installation-error-1603']here[/URL]. Those instructions tell you to grant full control for the whole drive, which I believe is the default for Windows, however you might get away with just granting full control to the C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\ directory if there's a reason you have disallowed the SYSTEM account from the whole drive.
