I just created a demo database for 2026.100 in the admin console, and then created an app server. When I try to connect to the app server, I get this error:
EpiCare is saying to uninstall EAC and delete many of the folders, and re-install and re-attach. Will that wipe out my database and app server settings when I try to re-attach them, and I’ll have to set them up from scratch? Haven’t gotten a response yet, so I figured I’d ask here and hopefully keep trucking along…

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

Steps to fix (from EpiCare):
1. Uninstall Epicor Administration Console through the Control Panel > Program and Features
- Epicor Administration Console
- Epicor Application Server Manager
- Epicor Database Manager
2) Delete following folders from server
C:\ProgramData\Epicor\AdministrationConsole
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Epicor Software\Epicor ERP Administration Console
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Epicor Software\Application Server Manager Extensions
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Epicor Software\Database Manager Extensions
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Epicor Software Corporation\AppServerVersion
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Epicor Software Corporation\DatabaseVersion
3) Install the following base versions by right-clicking and selecting run as administrator.
Note: If it asks you to repair or uninstall any of the following select uninstall then reinstall.
C:\Epicor\ERP11\ERP11.3.100.0\SupplementalInstalls\Administration > AdminConsoleInstaller.exe
C:\Epicor\ERP11\ERP11.3.100.0\SupplementalInstalls\Administration\ApplicationServerManager > ApplicationServerManager.exe
C:\Epicor\ERP11\ERP11.3.100.0\SupplementalInstalls\Administration\DatabaseManager > DatabaseManager.exe
4) Install following update version by right clicking and selecting run as administrator
C:\Epicor\ERP11\ERP11.3.100.0\Updates\ERP11.3.100.0.X\SupplementalInstalls\AdministrationUpdates > AdminConsoleUpdater.exe
5) If you want to use prior versions for some reason. Then you would install the following after installing the ones above.
C:\Epicor\ERP11\ERP11.XXX\SupplementalInstalls\Administration\ApplicationServerManager > ApplicationServerManager.exe
C:\Epicor\ERP11\ERP11.XXX\SupplementalInstalls\Administration\DatabaseManager > DatabaseManager.exe
6) Now log back into the EAC and re-register your databases and app servers.
In some cases you may have to reboot the system before trying to add the database again.
