Problems with Plesk on the Windows VPS

[BobZ]

I got the following error when I try to unistall Plesk 8.6 on the server:

error 1713.Plesk 8.1 for Microsoft windows , cannot install one of its required product . contact your technical support groups .

Did any one have the same problems?

Never had such problems. So have you contacted support as recommended?

Not yet

Did it unpack properly? Also, why are you installing an older version?

Did it unpack properly?

yes, it got unpacked properly

Also, why are you installing an older version?

What do you mean? Is it an old version?Which one do you recommend?

 

[gearworx]

Latest Plesk is version 8.6.0.2 I believe. You should consider installing the latest when possible.

The matter is that I can't unistall the old version, the best solution will be to recreate the serevr and try to insall a new version

BobZ,

Any update regarding this?
Has this issue been ironed out?

Latest plesk version is 9 which is nothing but mess, its better to write to support of plesk ( you will get canned messages mostly) sometimes if you have luck you will get solution

The issue got resolved long ago, I installed plesk_8.6.0 version and it started working pretty fine.May be the problem was that the package I was installing at that time was full of bugs or corrupted.I have downloaded a new package and it got installed and unistalled properly.

In all honesty Plesk isn't designed for Windows. Better to chose a bottom up solution like Dotnetpanel which was built specifically for Windows.
