I think the latest update wiped out my plex server install completely

+1 for me too… luckily I was able to do the control panel → add/remove programs → Plex → modify and repair.

Another +1, Plex uninstalled itself for me too sometime in the past several hours. :man_facepalming:

Jesus, Mine is gone too.

Edit, running repair via the control panel (Add/remove programs) brought it back.

Adding another one on the pile, after years of running mine was completely missing today.

Edit: Add/Remove, select Plex, then Modify, then Repair. Worked like the rest.

Thanks!

Happened to me too. This was in my logs

Windows Installer removed the product. Product Name: Stopping Plex. Product Version: 1.24.2973. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Plex, Inc.. Removal success or error status: 0.

Have no idea why. Sorry it happened, but glad to know I wasn’t alone. Doing a repair install from Add or Remove Programs reinstalled it.

Same thing. After years of running mine was completely missing this morning, was notified by a user that it was down and upon investigation noticed it wasn’t running…then I couldn’t locate the Plex Media Server exe to run and I was like WTH??

The Add/Remove, select Plex, then Modify, then Repair. Worked for me.

Windows Log:

I currently have Version 1.24.2.5000 and it says up to date.

Thanks!

i couldnt find the PMS.exe file at all.
I had to run the last update and click repair which fixed it for me.

I had the same on both my servers, failed to install and had to do a “repair” install over the top
