I've completed the instalation process, and the only service that is up and running is Continua SSH Server, no other services are running nor are they in the list of locally installed services (I was looking for a server and agent services - respectively).
I was installing on Win8 Home x64, the installer was launched with "run as administrator" option.

Hmm… not sure if windows 8 home edition will work, will test (downloading iso from msdn now) and get back to you. I know we have tested on windows 8 pro with no issues.
Was there anything in the windows eventlog related to Continua CI? Can you try installing the service manually, that might show up what the error was :
Continua.Server.Service.exe -i user=myusername password=mypassword
I just installed on a windows 8 Home edition and the only issue I found was that the installer thought ASP.NET was not installed (windows 8 uses a different registry key, just pushed a fix for that). I made sure to install asp.net and IIS (and the asp.net support, management tools and scripts) first. This was on a fresh install of windows 8 home with no windows updates.
Hi,
I’ve tried manual installation via installutil.exe but had no luck, there were no errors in the event log. I’ll give it another go and get back to you later today.
You should need to use installutil.exe, just open a command window as admin, go to the continua ci\server folder and run :
Continua.Server.Service.exe -i user=myusername password=mypassword
obviously with your username and password.
Ok, so I tried that. Opened up a command prompt as admin, navigated to the install folder and used the exe with the commandline you suggested. Results :
- The service has been installed
- The service is not running, when I tried to start it from the "services" window, I got an error saying that the service exited after starting.
Maybe my user/password is incorrect? The machine is not in a domain, should i use : user=MyUserName or user=localhost\MyUserName ?
I believe user should be machinename\username
Although I would think if the user or password was incorrect then it would not start at all. Try starting it as a console app :
Continua.Server.Service.exe -console
Also, which database did you select when installing? If it was postgresql, is the ContinuaCIPostgreSQL service installed and running? I suspect perhaps it’s shutting down because it can’t connect to the database, but then I would expect to see something in the windows eventlog for that.
I've picked MS SQL Server, I believe I have 2012 installed on that machine. I'll look it up, when I get home, and let you know.
