Yes
Why are you using the admin.exe?
Be sure to read the BI help file on Administration.
That is what the shortcut it put on my start menu calls. I copied my .reg files to the network so I won't lose them. I started to reinstall
Blue Iris and it said it needed to install the c++ runtime prerequisites first. I found that odd as I was reinstalling the same version of BI I installed originally so they should already be there. Anyway, after it installed the C++ runtime it asked for reboot, so I let it, then on subsequent Windows login it would blue screen after a few seconds complaining about the video drivers. I booted in a mode with a basic VGA driver, updated the video drivers (actually was a downgrade from what was already there), and then I was able to log in and uninstall BI and re-install. Then on startup it complained it could not find BlueIris.exe. I went in and did a "Repair" of the app, and then it started right up and seemed to be using my current configuration, although the service was disabled. I clicked the box to run as service, it asked if OK to restart, I said OK, then the screen went black and all I could see is the mouse. I hit reset on the PC it came up, I checked and the BI service was running and now everyone can view the cameras on UI3.
So for the moment it is up but I don't trust it at all right now and I suspect there is an issue with my ADATA SSD that the OS and BI is installed on, although CrystalDiskInfo shows it as GOOD and 97% from the S.M.A.R.T. info. I am thinking maybe I should order a Samsung 980 Pro M.2 to replace the ADATA and start over from scratch.
