Hi wibenji

A few basics first:

  • The screenshot looks like Windows, which version are you trying to install on?
  • Have you disabled anti-virus?
  • Has there been a previous version of FMS installed?
  • If so, have you uninstalled?
  • Is there a previous version folder in Program Files
  • Are you trying to update an existing FMS v19?
  • Lastly, is the hardware 64-bit?

Hopefully we’ll be able to help with the above info.

To add to this... make sure your files are backed up somewhere safe so you don't lose them in the uninstall.

I have updated the initial post with more info.

FMS19 requires Windows Server 2016 or later.

wibenji I believe you have your answer. We had to replace all our Windows 2012R2 servers with 2016 and 2019 servers before we could install FMS 19

I already feared that this could be the problem. Since v19.0 could be installed anyway and also runs without problems, I am surprised that 19.2 lets me continue up to this point in the setup and does not give any error message.
