Windows issues

[downslayer]

Attempted to use this to install a satisfactory server, clicking the add server button and naming the server and selecting the memory always created an error in the bottom right of the screen that said "server creation failed". There is an issue with the server in windows 10 or the guide is not complete, either way I do not want this installed on my server anymore.

Windows uninstall process does not exist in the guide. Attempting to use the Invoke-WebREquest command to pull the tinyurl link for the linux uninstall file and then run it the same way the install file was run does not appear to work, gives numerous errors.

Server Information (please complete the following information):

• OS: windows 10 pro (virtualization enabled in bios)
• SSM Version: latest as of 1/4/23

Additional context
Why is there install directions for windows but not uninstall directions? The ones for linux do not appear to work for windows.

Pretty sure Windows install is broken and likely hood of a fix is minimal as Windows isn't supported any longer. Not the dev but pretty reliable info.

@downslayer The uninstall script is for Linux and not for windows.
If you open Dev Tools in your browser, it should give you more details as to why the server could not be added.

You can also run the SSM process manually by stopping the SSM service.
Then open the executable in C:\Program Files\SSM using the command prompt.
Once thats running, try to create a server and will show the error in more detail.
