Trying to install new Plex Media Server on Windows Server 2008.
Gets a “Setup Failed” and a huge log-file.
So now I don’t have a Plex server.
What can I do?

2008 is no longer supported

Thanks, but where can I download an older version?

You can’t…

If this machine had Plex installed before, you might be able to find older versions in
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Updates although I can’t remember if that folder exits on 2008…

TLDR - don’t use a old OS, everyone should be using 2012 R2 at this point if you choose to use a server OS.

Agreed, it’s an 8 year old OS, things have moved on.
