Installation of PowerShell Universal

PowerShell Universal
1 
Product: PowerShell Universal
Version: 1.4.6

I want to install PowerShell Universal on Windows 10 and it seems nearly impossible for me.

Although I have started the msi in an admin PowerShell console I receive an “Service ‘PowerShell Universal’ failed to start” error message.

I have started the msi in a console with admin privilege the installer should be able to start a system service.

I also tried Install-PSUServer function in an admin powershell console without success. After downloading the installation bytes for the msi package of version 5.01 nothing happens anymore.

Kind regards,

Peter

Can you please check in the system log file for errors?

%ProgramData%\PowerShellUnviersal

Had the same problem. My solution was to install the Service with a local user and uncheck the box “Start service after installation”.
After the installation I put the Domain account manually to the service.

The systemlog starts with an “SQLite Error 26: ‘file is not a database’.” error. But during the installation process there is no option for choosing a database file.

Kind regards,

My problem is that the setup quits before any kind of service is created. And I also don’t know the name of the service.

Kind regards,

I have found older version of PowerShell Universal in the subfolders of %ProgramData%\PowerShellUniversal like 2.9.9 and 3.2.4

These is a LiteDB database file present in %ProgramData%\UniversalAutomation\database.db. Please either upgrade it or rename\remove it and run the installation again. It’s rolling back the install.
