I uninstalled NMP from a windows 2012 server and now it will not reinstall. Does anyone knows what I am doing wrong?
Please assist!
You didn't mention any errors or specific issues.
Here is a generic uninstall procedure: http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/en/flarehelp/npm/content/npm-uninstalling-npm-sw1446.htm
This is a general uninstall procedure, and it may differ slightly from version to version.
SolarWinds recommends to use this procedure when installing daily builds for testing.
regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software
C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SolarWinds
C:\inetpub\SolarWinds
C:\ProgramData\Solarwinds
C:\ProgramData\SolarWindsAgentInstall
Thanks for your prompt response d09h, I did some of your instructions before and also some folders wont delete.
When I start installation, the yellow starting installation window pops up and then disappeared....that's it! nothing happens after and nothing is installed.
I am thinking if this is windows 2012 thing......the last one I used was 2003 server...this is really new interface and a few new features for me.....
still at it.....
I think it would be helpful to post any error messages you can find.
None!!! no error message......installation starting window just goes away and that's it...
I would open a support ticket but you can also look at the OrionInstaller.log located in the following directory.
I had faced similar issue in my lab setup... it wasnt listing any errors like u mentioned... i tried to install it multiple times and ended up having an error stating license is corrupted. in my case since it was lab setup i just built another server and got it started....
Ok....I rebuilt the server and still got the same thing, but now I got to the log and here is what I got.....

Any ideas?
did u use the old installer setup after re-building the server?
now I went into the temp folder to try run the installer directly...here is what I got
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\SWOrionSetup201708291311\InstallManifest.config'.

i m not that much experienced to help on these kind of errors.
By old installer setup i meant- Sometimes the setup file would have got corrupted or a prob with registry.. so i was mentioning about downloading fresh evaluation setup..
Maybe you can wait for someone to assist on the above errors...
Sure, I did download a fresh copy but no joy.
Do you have NCM?
yes i do.....but not installed yet.
You uninstall Node.js and NPM the same as you would most Windows software:
modem wifi password
Now, here is what is going on....when the installation start extracting files into the temp folder, I see it populate the folder with installation files and when the installation stops all the files disappeared!! I tried to copy some files and installed NPM, but I get an error while trying to run NPM configuration wizard....
* No valid package combination was found for your system
I believe this is because I copied the installation files manually....how do I fix this?
