in Photon Server
Hi all
OS = Windows server 2016 64 bits
Photon On Premise Server SDK v4-0-29-11263
.Net Framework 4.6 and 3.5 installed
(if some of you want to know how to install .Net Framework 3.5 on win 2016 server , just ask me)

When I launch ...\deploy\bin_Win64\PhotonControler.exe , I get (almost immediately 'Photon stopped'

CLR log shows
2018-08-22 17:06:15,095 [ 1] INFO PhotonHostRuntime.PhotonDomainManager - Getting license information:
2018-08-22 17:06:15,189 [ 1] ERROR PhotonHostRuntime.PhotonDomainManager - Failed to get PhotonLicensing instance: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
2018-08-22 17:06:15,189 [ 1] ERROR PhotonHostRuntime.PhotonDomainManager - ERROR: failed to load PhotonLicensing.dll. Going to shutdown.

What I've tried
To do the same on win10, win 2012 server : it works

I corrupted the PhotonLicensing.dll to identify if the file could be found and read
In this case CRL log shows
2018-08-22 18:04:13,446 [ 1] INFO PhotonHostRuntime.PhotonDomainManager - Getting license information:
2018-08-22 18:04:13,462 [ 1] ERROR PhotonHostRuntime.PhotonDomainManager - Failed to get PhotonLicensing instance: Could not load file or assembly 'PhotonLicensing.dll' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
2018-08-22 18:04:13,462 [ 1] ERROR PhotonHostRuntime.PhotonDomainManager - ERROR: failed to load PhotonLicensing.dll. Going to shutdown.


Nota : PhotonLicensing.dll file is not 'blocked'

No additional relevant info in the Photon-loadbalancing log

Please advise .
I can't change my server which needs to run win2016 server.

Thanks

    Hello
    Thank for your reply
    The second hint is about the 'blocked' file . It was the first thing I checked .
    Nota : I have had the opportunity to try to install PhotonServer on another win 2016 server machine .. it worked
    However the builds between the two win 2016 server machines are a little bit different .
    Do you know if there is some specific requirements regarding win features (for example) ?
    Thank

    hi, @absolute_beginner

    there is not anything really specific. Maybe .net for required to be installed

    but that is it. Use build which works for you

    best,

    Hi
    If that could be so easy :) To make the build changed will take a while (at least one month)

    Hi all
    Solution found whitout rebuilding the machine
    There is a key in the registry which didn't have the right value
    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FipsAlgorithmPolicy\Enabled must have 0 as value

    Kind regards
