Works for me, im running Windows 2008 R2 SP1 (64-bit) , i downloaded from my website, click Run, it started and wanted to install the server drivers. I let it install the server drivers and it then installed bonjour and ran fine. Is that what you are doing?

Version of Windows: Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

Yes, drivers installation finished with no problem (all is ok). When I click on "Finish" program silently closes.

i added some more error messages to the server so hopefully it shows something more. download the server again from my website as its recompiled with these changes and post the output here. It might be something to do with russian cryillic windows

It seems program can't find files in home dir.

install the server in the administrator session on the server not through a terminal services session. Edit: actually this is a bug which is fixed now in the version on this website

I have the very same problems on my server 2008r2. Installation worked, drivers installed, but then the server instantly closes.
Logfile said "Did not find any valid INFs in c:/users/administrator/windows/oem*.inf"

So i did an installation on a win7 system and copied that inf files to the server 2008r2 but still no luck.

Server stopped with warning message "Error starting device manager"

Any suggestions on this?
