Debug broke 2 different server installs

PowerShell Universal Universal Dashboard
1 
Product: PowerShell Universal
Version: 1.4.6

I originally started to demo your product (unlicensed) on my main lab machine, everything was good until i used the Wait-Debugger. As soon as i did that the server stopped responding (desktop edition on windows 10). nothing i did would start desktop again.
I learned about debugged being a paid feature and just chalked it up to some bug related to not being licensed.

Fast forward and i’ve created a windows 2022 server, requested a trial key. played with new scripts and built several different dashboards then last time. So i used Wait-Debugger as my lic. was going to end soon, and everything comes to a halt.
restarted the server and nothing.
Service won’t start.

I went back to the wiki to see if there was something i missed in the install but i’m at a loss.

Both are the same command.
I’ve tried to manually run the universal.server.exe as admin but the service still fails to stay going.

I would love to find out what the problem is so i continue my product recommendation to my work.

There is likely another event viewer error with a stack trace. It should happen right before or after the one you posted. Can you please share that?

Hello Adam,

Thanks for the reply.
I was able to find an event 1026 that look simlar to other stack traces i find on here. Apologies, I’m a infra guy playing self taught “programming”. please let me know if there is something additional you need.

Something is locking your database file. Can you check to see if you have a Universal.Server.exe process running?

Hello Adam

I found that the universal.server.exe was running,

I stopped the process, and re-ran the exe, i ensure the service is running. IIS is running. nothing works.

could it be an issue with server 2022?

My demo expired over the weekend. If it would be possible to get another i wouldn’t be against rebuilding the VM and doing a clean recommended install. and see if i get the same results.

would this be possible?

Thanks,
Dilli
