Dashboard process is not running - missing wwwroot

PowerShell Universal
1 
Product: PowerShell Universal
Version: 5.4.0 (13319778963) Nightly

I updated to a nightly build in lab, mostly cause i was trying to escape another issue. None of my apps start, they all fail saying

Could not find a part of the path ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Universal\Modules\Universal\wwwroot\index.html’.

Which is true, the wwwroot is no longer present;

I copied a directory from another test , but that just got me to

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (2): An error occurred trying to start process 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Universal\Agents\5.1\Universal.Agent.exe' with working directory 'C:\ProgramData\UniversalAutomation\Repository'. The system cannot find the file specified.

This is also weird, i don’t have this path.

Edit: Also, trying to install the latest nightly build, it looks like it wants to do a clean install, saying it’s going to install the service. Normally it just updates.

This should probably be posted as an issue on Github, not here, since you’re using a version that isn’t meant for the general public. I could be wrong, though - maybe they want this here too.

i can do that, no problem. Will get to it right away.
