I rented a lightweight application server running Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter 64-bit CN and tried to install KNIME 5.8.0 (64-bit) using the official installer.
The installation completed successfully, but the program always exits during the final launch phase – a problem that has haunted me for two days.
My goal is simply to log in to this server remotely and run KNIME for personal use, not to operate it as a server.
The error log file is attached for reference.

Hi.
Difficult! From the logs it seems it’s not able to load some libraries:
C:\KNIMESUN\KNIME\plugins\com.equo.chromium.cef.win32.win32.x86_64_128.0.18\chromium-6613\libcef.dll: 找不到指定的程序。
ChatGPT (which I needed to translate the error cause) suggested to check if the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable is installed (I only asked for the translation but that hint didn’t sound completely off).
Also, maybe check a newer version of KNIME as there have been updates to especially the CEF parts and binaries in general.
