Installation Errors on Windows Server 2019

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by 7
Hey all,

For the past few days, I have been trying to install Power Automate Desktop on my Windows 2019 server. The setup only opened once, asking me to install some stuff which I did, and then it asked to reboot. After rebooting, I just got an installation failed prompt with "There was a problem installing" with a correlation ID. I have:
Updated the server and rebooted [IT IS UP TO DATE AS OF TODAY]
Made sure I had .NET [Which apparently is installed on there natively]
Checked Event Viewer and it is all over the place - sometimes it doesn't even log the error, sometimes it says it is kernelbase.dll, and sometimes it says it's a runtime issue.

I have tried everything I saw online and none of it has worked and I am desperate for a solution.
I would appreciate anyone's help.

Thanks in advance.

    Have you first check any power automate desktop related stuffs in your computer if its there remove them completely and do the installation as fresh one.
     
    In case facing any issue with latest exe from power automate portal then try to install from microsoft store.
     
    Thanks,

    Thanks Deenuji Loganathan,

    Power Automate Desktop is not even installed on my desktop. I have tried everything and all the troubleshooting steps online with no luck. I am unable to install it from the MS store as my operating system is a SERVER.

    Thanks again
