I see others have similar problem.This is what I did:

Install EWB 3 build 9.
In elevated Cmd box: ewbcert localhost -c
certmgr shows localhost in Personal | Certificates

Problem #1:
Start EWB (as admin or not) I get the same error:

Stream read failure (Expected: 8 bytes, Read: 0 bytes)

In EWB Server tab, click on Internal, then + sign. I ger error message:

Error loading server information from Internal:
Error executing request to http://localhost/authentication
The request timed out

Problem #2:
When I try to start ewbsrvr.exe (either 32 or 64 and either as admin or not), it just closes right away. In Task Manager it just flashes for a fraction of a second and disappears.

Am I doing something wrong?

Win 10 Ent (with latest updates), 32 GB RAM, No special drivers or software (just Delphi 10.3.3)

Zoran,

You're still seeing the effects of the bug in build 8.  EWB doesn't delete settings files or the server DB in-between uninstalls/installs.

You need to go into this directory:

C:\Users\<User Account>\AppData\Local\Elevate Software\Elevate Web Builder 3\server

and delete the ewbsrvr.db file.  Then rename the ewbsrvr.old.db file back to ewbsrvr.db.

That should fix the issue.  If it doesn't, then your backup got corrupted also, and you will need to just delete the ewbsrvr.db file and start the IDE again so that the IDE's internal web server will recreate the file.
