BitBucket Server fails to install on windows server 2019 due to port in use error. No matter which port is used, the same error is shown. Netstat does not show port the selected port to be in use.
Took some time but found what was causing the issue.
I was running the install executable from a network share. Even though I have admin rights Microsoft runs the exe with limited rights which causes all the system ports to be inaccessible.
Copying the install exe to the C drive solved the issue.
Hi Wilfred,
Which port are you trying to start Bitbucket Server on?

Hi Christian,
I'm trying the default port suggested by the installer but also random other port numbers. I've tried 8080 and many others. All the ports I have tried are free according to netstat

BTW, I'm not trying to start Bitbucket but I'm installing Bitbucket!
