Starship Upgrade 24.0.3 - Connector did not install - WWW Service won't start

  • 1.  Starship Upgrade 24.0.3 - Connector did not install - WWW Service won't start

    Posted 06-26-2024 14:18

    Anyone run into this issue? Starship Server, Desktop Client, MIFS, Web Client and Web Utils all installed with no errors, but I have no shortcut for the Connector and the web client will not launch. In investigating this in IIS, trying to start the VTech website gives (paraphrased) "The WWW Publishing service must be running". Attempting to start the W3Svc service, (it is set to automatic, but does not start) gives "Windows could not start the World Wide Web Publishing Service on Local Computer. For More information review the System Event Log. blah blah blah". I can't find anything in the System Event Logs and Googling the error code (-2147023828) returns nothing.

    Any ideas would be welcome.

    TIA

    I believe the IIS components get installed during the web client installation.  It may be worth a try re-installing the web client, or uninstall the web client and the IIS service and then re-install the web client.

    @Doug Higgs, yep, that's what I was thinking. Uninstall and reinstall all the pieces.

    I was able to get the web client to load by uninstalling Starship Web Client, Web Utilities and IIS, Then reinstalling everything. BUT, the Connector does not get installed. No shortcut to launch the connector and the web client complains the source is not setup, run the connector. Doesn't the connector install with the Web Client?

    Thanks @Wayne Schulz, but I don't appear to have the Download option in the menu for my login. I'll reach out to V-Technologies.

    Did you re-install the desktop client?

    No, I reinstalled the web client. So the Connector installs from the desktop client but is used by the web client!? Well that makes sense  - NOT!

    OK now I am getting the selection. I am guessing that did not come up before because W3Svc Service was not running and IIS was messed up.
