Installation of Kinetic 2022.2 on Windows Server 2022

I will most likely run into this as well.

Saved my bacon @Mark_Wonsil, instead of going down that rabbit warren. I just did the repair and it worked. It clearly must have something to do with the order of things… Did you follow the install guide verbatim. eg. SDK, Hosting, 4.8, SQL, SSRS then Epicor App?

I did. I have found that I have had to do it again and it may be around the same time that Wndows Updates come… :thinking:

This just happened, I had a clean server fully updated, then I did all the installs. It broke the first time I tried to connect to the app server in the EAC.

Legend. This fixed the issue for me as well.

Quick update on this. I was seeing this on my dev box and, I think @olga may have mentioned this in another thread, there can be a timing issue of when IIS is starting and the AppServer starts and the .NET bundle may not be instantiated yet. So, if I delay the launch of Kinetic a bit to make sure IIS is setup, I don’t get this issue. The other thing I’ve done is to restart IIS and often the AppServer will start up afterwards. I think installing the .NET bundle was doing a restart, so maybe that was masking the issue.

I also think there can be timing issues if IIS starts up before SQL server is finished starting up. I have been seeing launch errors on my dev 2025.1 environment after rebooting the box (which has SQL and appserver on it), and I need to bounce the app pool to resolve. I’ve run into this before over the years but it’s been a while.
