I have installed a FME Form server 2025 on Windows Server 2022 and having troubles in getting OSGeo supplied plugin files for FDO / SDF to work. When running the job it fails with really no good error message in the job log, but when looking in the server’s event viewer this error occurs:

Application: FMEEngine.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: exception code c06d007e, exception address 00007FFE2A20F47C
Stack:

Faulting application name: FMEEngine.exe, version: 2025.7.52.25208, time stamp: 0x67c2777b
Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 10.0.20348.3451, time stamp: 0x11df78b1
Exception code: 0xc06d007e
Fault offset: 0x000000000003f47c
Faulting process id: 0x1958
Faulting application start time: 0x01dbc0def35d329d
Faulting application path: D:\Program Files\FMEFlow\Server\fme\FMEEngine.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\System32\KERNELBASE.dll
Report Id: 4d6be8b7-3bc4-4041-b7ba-99637ee48fc7
Faulting package full name: 
Faulting package-relative application ID: 

When activating error debug, these two lines occurs:
681    2025-5-9 14:07:23 | BADNEWS: No MULTI_WRITER dataset name was specified (couldn't find a value for `PRIMARY_DEST_DATASET' or `MULTI_WRITER_DATASET')
682    2025-5-9 14:07:23 | (D:\code\fme\source\engine\core\engine\writrimp.cpp:661) class StatusInfo __cdecl STFWriterImp::getDataset(class stk::ex::UString<0> &) const

The same datasources work fine in other jobs, it’s just when trying to export to sdf when it fails.

Hi ​@erikerik17 

Could you go through these steps, please?

  1. On the machine, navigate to "<FlowInstallDir>\Server\fme\plugins". Make sure there is a folder inside this plugins folder called "fdo". If there is not one, please create one.
  2. Extract the 'fdo.zip' and copy over the your 'fdo' folder.
  3. Restart the FME Engine Service
  4. Attempt to run your workspace with the SDF writer again.
