AutoUpdater failed (30006) - Manual Installation for the last 2 years now

Hello
:partying_face::star_struck::partying_face:I am back with good news - I was able to fix my Problem. :partying_face::star_struck::partying_face:

After another year of frustrating manual installation of Plex, i was trying to find a solution again. I stumbled about a Post of @sa2000 (His Post)

What was especially helping me was, that i didnt knew of HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Plex, Inc.\Plex Media Server
I was just only familiar with following Location (that i was changing but didn’t resolve my Problem)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Plex, Inc.\Plex Media Server

So I just made sure that both are pointing to my ../../Plex Media Server Directory. (Which in my case pointed to different locations. One pointed to somewhere on C:\ and the other one to E:\

After the change i tried the auto update function again and it worked - for the first time in about 3 years. :partying_face:


TL;DR: E.g. In case your Plex Media Server looks like:

E:\Plex\Plex Media Server\Cache
E:\Plex\Plex Media Server\Codecs
E:\Plex\Plex Media Server\Crash Reports
... 

Make sure to put the following value

E:\Plex\

into both registry keys:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Plex, Inc.\Plex Media Server
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Plex, Inc.\Plex Media Server


A BIG thankyou to you @sa2000 you finally (not intended in first place) fixed my Porblem and the one of many others :slight_smile:
