You could capture a crash dump and send me that. Either by following https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb787181(v=vs.85).aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396 or by extracting it from the WER queue when the send/don’t send dialog pops up.
I guess I can also start figuring out how to set it up such that Microsoft gives me the crash if you press send…
The crash dump showed a exception “Unknown exception - code c0000022” during loading. Which lead to this question where someone fixed it by using process monitor and then repairing dll permissions.
OK, fixed the issue by manually copying the DLL associated with the C++ runtime from a working machine over to the malfunctioning machine. The runtime would install and succeed without any errors, but the DLL’s were never placed on the system. Here are the files I copied to make it work.

BTW this was a Windows Server 2008.
Everything seems to be running great with the clean setup using btrfs. One last question. Can I run multiple instances of the client, one for onsite, and one for offsite? Another example would be… I have multiple companies hosted on one server and would like to split the backups to enforce quotas.
I’m going to assume from the silence that this is not possible.
