@jledoux1962 Can you please share the exact build number?

[jledoux1962]

I am unable to get Windows Admin Center running at this time. Under Programs and Features, it list the Windows Admin Center Version as 1.3.53858.0.

Is there a registry key or config file that would have the build number?

[jledoux1962]

I haven't heard anything back in a quite some time. Can you please tell me what the status of this is. Are you waiting for more information from me?

Same issue with Version WAC_2211 1.4.61699.0 on Windows 10 Pro 22H2 (Build 19045.2728). Cannot start due to the same errors

Same as MicrosoftDocs/windowsserverdocs#212 and #6260 form Windows Server Docs

Steps provided on the Microsoft Q&A did not help either.

None of the Root Certificates are shown as revoked to me, only the ones for the dlls

I saw duplicate Microsoft root certs in the store.

Then verified the exact same certs on a second server, however only the single instance listed.

I deleted all of those certs, then imported the certs in a single PFX from the other server.

WAC is now happily loading.
