HCL v2.1.0 "Server Start Failed" on Windows 10

[jhsanchez]

Hi, I've installed HCL_V2.1.0 on Windows 10 machine. When i started the software the message "Server Start Failed" appears. 

This is in the HCL.log file:

[2018-01-03 10:39:19.721000]error:Traceback (most recent call last):

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xf3 in position 90: invalid continuation byte

And this in the HCLUpdate.log

I think that is a problem of languaje, mi PC is in Spanish. The version of VirtualBox installed is 5.1.26. And the windows version is Windows10 Home single languaje.

Any help will be apreciated.

I figthed MONTHS with HCL, testing any tips I found with no results at all. I gave up, I was trully frustrated add angry due to the lost time ... a few days ago I tried to install HCL in a Windows Server VM just installed .(English) ...for my suprise all the process ran smoothly and voilà ...HCL up and running with no troubles at all. I hope to help you. I'm not 100% sure rigth now but once you have the Windows Server English version up and runnig run the installation program as Administrator, just in case. Good luck !! please feel free to contact me in case of any addictional details.
