[solved] Server OS (1 Viewer)

[onetoomany]

MP2 demands a minimum OS of Win 7 / 2008 R2, and does not allow me to install on any other OS - for example, I've got 2008 SBS (which is based on 2008 server).

MP1 allows me to install on other OSs with a warning. Is it possible to change MP2 just to give a warning instead of quitting, especially when installing the server software only?

Thanks

Richard

I'm not sure if MP2-Server will run on this system at all, because no one tested it before. In principle the Win7 requirements come from MP2-Client, so it could work.

You can test it first by installing MP2-Server on a Win7(+) client and copy the ProgramFiles\TMP\MP2-Server to your 2008 SBS. Then run the MP2-Server.exe there with "-c" as windowed app.

Make sure that other dependencies are available (.NET4.5.1)

If it works at all, a change to installer might be considered. But be aware of possible issues: i.e. the ShellThumbnail provider (or other components) depends on interfaces that might be Win7 or newer.

Morpheus,

Thanks for your suggestion. I've copied both the program files and programdata MP2 server directories across from a win7 installation.
I've then run "mp2-server.exe -c" from the cmd prompt. This gave me an SQL error, which suggests that I've not managed to set up the database properly. Any ideas what I'm missing?

Thanks

Richard

Please try again without ProgramData folder.

This gives me a different database error:

I'm not sure if MP2-Server will run on this system at all, because no one tested it before.

MP2 Server runs fine here on a Server 2012 OS. Works (with MPExtended) for TV on a Win 8.1 Client.
