Hi @Dario_Chiga,

Could you try to reboot the server and then repair the Workflow actions pack again?

Please let me know if it helps.

Hi @Dario_Chiga,

It gives the access denied error. Do you start the installation from an admin account?

Is it possible that some antivirus is blocking the installation as well?

Best regards,

Dario_Chiga · August 24, 2023, 6:36am

The Antivirus is deactivated and yes i use an admin account

Dario_Chiga · August 24, 2023, 6:41am

i try to install the wf pack via powershell and every other possible option that i can find but it always turns out like this.

Hi @Dario_Chiga,

Try to uninstall the application using these instructions

Uninstall

Then install it again with the wizard or using the wsp package

Dario_Chiga · August 24, 2023, 10:19am

already done like this.
and installed with the wsp package.
didn't work as well

Hi @Dario_Chiga,

So, when you removed the app using the wizard, was the removal successful?

If yes, could you try to install using the installation wizard and let me know if it gives any errors?

Also, try to Download the latest setup file.

Hi Petr, hi Dario_Chiga,

we've got the excact same problem here on a SharePoint Server Subscription Edition Farm.

Installation ends with the following messages:
*Error: Exception accessing DeployedWebApplications

Removing the solution through the wizard results in the following:

Where do we go from here? We're in a migrationscenario from SharePoint Server 2019 to SharePoint Server SE, four SharePoint-Server Farm.

Hi @kai_graewe,

Please try the steps befor removing the solution

To properly remove the application, you need to deactivate Plumsail Action Pack Auth Service feature first on your web application. In the case, when you do not deactivated the feature, you may get the following error: Server Error in ‘/’ Application.. If you received this message on load your site, you may use one of two ways to solving this problem:

Open web.config file (by default this file locate in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\[Web_App]\web.config) and remove all references to Plumsail.WFServices.
Run setup file and install Workflow Action Pack again. Then, deactivate web application feature and try to remove the solution again.

Did you download the latest version of the installer wizard? If not, please try to Download the latest setup file.
Is there any antivirus software that can block the installation?

Best regards,
Petr
