Latest Windows Installer fails miserably

[djarvis]

Clean machine with .NET 9 installed.

Ran CodeProject.AI-Server_2.9.5_win_x64.exe and went through the wizard.

No errors appear yet service is not installed and this appears in the event viewer:

Version 2.8.0 works fine.

Some wonky dependency issue with 2.9.5:

What is your:

• OS
• architecture (arm64 or x64)
• environment (native OS install or using a VM)

[djarvis]

Windows Server 2022 Standard
x64: Processor 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-13500, 2500 Mhz, 14 Core(s), 20 Logical Processor(s)
Native OS install.

This looks like either an oddity with Windows Server vs Windows (consumer) or a permissions issue. We only support (and have only tested on) the consumer versions of windows, not the server version. My only suggestion is to check the event viewer to see if that sheds any light.

[djarvis]

Probably not a permissions issue and probably not an OS-specific oddity as all prior versions work just fine. Maybe some new .NET 9 thing? I can try to pull down the source and build and run in debug and see what happens. Event viewer just shows what I pasted above:

Faulting application name: CodeProject.AI.Server.exe, version: 2.7.0.0, time stamp: 0x67200000
Faulting module name: coreclr.dll, version: 9.0.24.52809, time stamp: 0x672049fc

Try uninstalling, deleting C:\Program Files\CodeProject before re-installing.

If still failing any thing of interest in here?

C:\Program Files\CodeProject\AI\logs\*.txt
C:\Program Files\CodeProject\AI\modules\ObjectDetectionYOLOv5-6.2\install.log
C:\Program Files\CodeProject\AI\modules\ObjectDetectionYOLOv5Net\install.log

Maybe uninstall/reinstall .net 9 and reboot?

If you run dotnet --list-runtimes at a command prompt, you should see these, and they should all be the same build:

Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 9.0.0 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.AspNetCore.App]
Microsoft.NETCore.App 9.0.0 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App]
Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App 9.0.0 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App]

The last one might not be needed but I always keep all three installed and at the exact same build.

Maybe disable antivirus?

Might get something else out of analyzing this file with WinDbg:
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\CrashDumps\CodeProject.AI.Server.exe.*.dmp

I had the same installation problem and could not get the service to start. Using MS Windows Pro 11 latest updates and patches.

The solution was to delete the old AI sub-directory and all contents. Then manually install MS net (https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/sdk-9.0.101-windows-x64-installer). Reinstall code project 2.9.5, and the service then came up in my browser.

I have installed various versions, up to 2.6.5 on Windows Server 2022 (w/desktop ui) and haven't had any issue. Did you do a core install or install with a desktop? Right clicking and running as administrator? Maybe something broke after 2.6.5?

[ChrisMaunder]

@BuxtonCalvin When you installed the latest, did you check the "delete old install and all data" checkbox?

Hi, just to chime in. I am running CPAI for some years now, from almost the beginning actually.
It's running on a Windows Server 2022, and the installer almost never worked correctly (especially the modules part).
This one does ! (I did check the "delete old install and all data" option) .Great work !

@BuxtonCalvin When you installed the latest, did you check the "delete old install and all data" checkbox?

Yes. I installed with the checkbox checked. I also deleted the install from the Windows Apps menu. I went back and forth between installing working versions (2.8.0) and non-working (2.9.5) before applying the fix as per my note above. In my case, I'm pretty sure this was a dotnet issue.

[djarvis]

I have not had the time unfortunately to experiment with the latest version. I have the 2.8.0 working and need my security camera system up and running
