I upgrade FME Flow from 2024.2 to 2025.2.1 using the Windows express installation method. With all setting using default.
Under “Engine Management” the localhost showing have 0 standard engines. Even I manually change it to 2, it stays at 0.
FME Flow Engines service is running correctly. When I tried restart the service, FMEEngine.exe will show on details tab in Task Manager then disappear.
When I tried run FMEEngine.exe, this error pop up:
