Step by step: I created a new machine, using an I5-8600, with 32 GB of memory, and a 1 TB NVME c: drive, and 1 TB NVME d: drive. I used Microsoft to download the latest Windows 11 Pro install. I installed all updates available. I customized the install by loading startisback from startisback.com. I uninstalled apps such as teams, xbox and other junk. I rebooted, and logged in with an administrator account.
I then downloaded the latest release of Jellyfin from https://repo.jellyfin.org/releases/serve...ws-x64.exe, 128,683,007 bytes, I verified the checksum with 7z: e892895b5a0e866f86a5efc4ba1ff1a490db8242ab550abbb3e970414e354598. I then created a system restore point.
I installed Jellyfin as a user process, basic install, as recommended. I left the install folder location as set in the default, but I changed the data folder location to my d: drive. See https://youtu.be/AoSydTL8xKo?t=37. My thought was that I would use d: drive for the database data alone.
I then let the install finish. When changing the data location, I did NOT get this screen: https://youtu.be/AoSydTL8xKo?t=81.
Instead, Jellyfin went directly to this screen: https://youtu.be/AoSydTL8xKo?t=103.
When I filled out the media library screen, I was sent directly to the login screen. Where, I couldn't login, since I hadn't created any users. It's blurred out, but it's this screen: https://youtu.be/AoSydTL8xKo?t=159.
Since I had done this previously, and uninstalls/reinstalls did not fic the issue, I used the system restore point, restored back to just before I had installed. Rebooted, and installed fresh again. This time I left the data location set as the default, and to my delight, I was able to create an admin user.
I checked to make sure I could logout, and back in, and was able to do so. I stopped and restarted Jellyfin, and again, all was fine.
I again did the system restore, back to just before the initial install. I rebooted, logged in, and installed again. Again, I changed the default location of the data folder. Again, I did NOT get the screen to create the admin user.
I followed the same script, alternating between changing the default data folder, and not. It was the ONLY variable I changed. Each time I changed the data folder, I could not get an admin user create screen. Each time I did not change the default data folder, I DID get an admin user create screen.
I know the importance of eliminating possibilities when it comes to troubleshooting. I was the lead support programmer for Bell Atlantic/Verizon 911 systems.
Since my last install was made to be my permanent install, I do not have a logfile for the instances where the install did not work. I'm sorry, I just didn't think of it at the time.
