    Hello everyone,

    I needs some help.

    I can ping the home server by IP and Name, browse the shares on the network.See the media shares in the homegroup. I see the server website to install or download the connector software. I have tried multiple administrator accounts.

    When installing the client and getting to 95% the client shows error "The installer has encountered a unknown error" and then reverses all the installation and put up another error message "The installation i cancelled - The Windows home server 2011 has encountered an unexpected error. Click Close to undo".

    I have read many posts on the internet for this issue.

    I have hardcoded the IP addresses. Added the server name to the host file. Turned off the anti-virus (Kaspersky 2011), turned off the windows firewall on the client and server. Changed the network settings to use NetBIOS over TCP.

    Found the following entries in the ClientCore.msi.log file.

    "[3728] 110426.233759.1038: ClientSetup: Entering InstallSoftwareTask.Run

    Hi,

    Try running a CHKDSK on the client computer, C:\-drive.

    Is the static IP and the host file entry a must? Any odd characters in the Server password?

    I didn't change any settings on my network or turned off any firewalls or antivirus-software, installation should work anyway.

    One WHS v1 machine in the basement with a mixed setup of harddrives in and outside the storage pool. WHS2011 RC as a testbed, backing up 2 computers.

    Hi,
    As far as I can tell one of the Connector sofwtare components .msi installer (ClientCore.msi) failed during install.
    Actually I can not tell what is the problem. You can try:

    Make sure the C: drive of the client has enough free disk space left.
    Run Windows Update to install all critical updates.
    Check the version of the .NET Framework 4.0. It should be at least 4.0.30319?

    Make sure you the installer  through http:\\{server}\connect with administrative privileges?
    - Theo.

    Just guessing....
    As a last resort, after uninstallling the WHS connector software
    you could try manually uninstalling all .NET Framework 4.0 components?

    Then reboot the client and retry...

    Hello Robin,

    This issue could be caused by a Task Scheduler store that is corrupted. Please try this workaround and then reinstall the Connector:
