Hi Ilguiz, Could you please let me know a little more about your installation? Which version of Windows are you using? What actions did you take before re-running the 1.0.06beta installer? I can see you have had problems upgrading from 1.0.05beta also, was that the same installation? In the mean time, to get you back up and running I'd recommend performing a clean install. If you're using the embedded database you should be able to re-use your data directory so there is no data loss.

Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1. It is managed by active directory policies, and I am not sure which of the local admin rights my domain account has on it. It appears to have received some additional lockdown recently, as well as a forced Symantec Enterprise agent. The installer takes a few minutes to start and to proceed at the end of the "Extracting files..." phase (and I wonder if Symantec takes time to scan it). I followed the message from Portswigger on deactivating 1.0.05 before installing 1.0.06 on top of it. (I might have tried running 1.0.07 first without reading much into the message, so I canceled that and ran the 1.0.06 install). The clean install fails with the StackOverflowError (plus, due to an annoying bug in Windows Remote Desktop, my re-connecting to the session gets disconnected immediately, which may or may not be related to my running the installer as a local Administrator. I figured I could work this around using a remote qwinsta /server:SERVERNAME to find the session ID against my user name, then using rwinsta /server:SERVERNAME SESSIONID to kill my session). Exception: java.lang.StackOverflowError at java.prefs/java.util.prefs.WindowsPreferencesFactory.userRoot(WindowsPreferencesFactory.java:42) at java.prefs/java.util.prefs.Preferences.userRoot(Preferences.java:457) at java.prefs/java.util.prefs.AbstractPreferences$1.run(AbstractPreferences.java:1070) at java.prefs/java.util.prefs.AbstractPreferences$1.run(AbstractPreferences.java:1068) at java.base/java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.prefs/java.util.prefs.AbstractPreferences.isUserNode(AbstractPreferences.java:1067) at java.prefs/java.util.prefs.WindowsPreferences.rootNativeHandle(WindowsPreferences.java:1119) at java.prefs/java.util.prefs.WindowsPreferences.<init>(WindowsPreferences.java:461) at java.prefs/java.util.prefs.WindowsPreferences.getUserRoot(WindowsPreferences.java:102) at java.prefs/java.util.prefs.WindowsPreferencesFactory.userRoot(WindowsPreferencesFactory.java:42) at java.prefs/java.util.prefs.Preferences.userRoot(Preferences.java:457) at java.prefs/java.util.prefs.AbstractPreferences$1.run(AbstractPreferences.java:1070) at java.prefs/java.util.prefs.AbstractPreferences$1.run(AbstractPreferences.java:1068) at java.base/java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.prefs/java.util.prefs.AbstractPreferences.isUserNode(AbstractPreferences.java:1067)
