OS Name/Version: Windows Server 2019 Standard

Product Name/Version: 2.3.3.4

Problem Description:
I enabled the UPNP sync. Upgraded the instances and restarted them. Checked my router and it did not forward the ports via UPNP. Other applications have port forwarding working within the network.

Actions taken to resolve so far:
Restarted AMP
Upgraded instances

Only new instances are added to UPnP right now. Existing instances are not included. The feature is still in beta so it’s usage is limited for now.

Aaron_Beauvais · 16 June 2022 16:15

I tested with a newly created instance and it still did not create the port forward via UPNP

You might have to wait a while for the main firewall sync. Also make sure that ampinstmgr is the latest version as well as AMP itself.

You can run ampinstmgr updatefirewall on the command prompt to see what’s going on.

Ran the command and looks like it ran smooth bot no UPNP sadly

Aah, UPnP sync also requires a whole new installation of the instance manager GUI app. Make sure to do a custom installation and make sure the feature is enabled.

Aaron_Beauvais · 16 June 2022 16:28

Is there instructions some place I can follow to do the reinstallation so we don’t lose the existing instances as well?

Mike · 16 June 2022 16:28

Uninstalling the instance manager doesn’t affect instances at all. It’s entirely safe to do. It won’t even disrupt your running AMP instances.

Uninstalled the Instance Manager
Downloaded latest from the website, did custom installation and made sure UPNP was enabled
Created a new instance
Ran the updatefirewall
Still no UPNP Syncing I did confirm the setting was still enabled.

In Regedit, is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CubeCoders\AMP\InstanceManager\UPnPSyncEnabled turned on?

Aaron_Beauvais · 16 June 2022 16:41

That registery entry is not there only has InstanceStore and ModuleMetadata

Mike · 16 June 2022 16:42

Add a integer field called UPnPSyncEnabled and set it to 1

Aaron_Beauvais · 16 June 2022 16:58

Sadly that did not solve it. I added the registry entry. Restarted the Instance Manager. Recreated an instance. Ran the firewall tool. and no UPNP Sync still

Will have to wait until it gets another pass then I’m afraid. It’s only a beta feature at this time so there’s probably some issues with it.

Aaron_Beauvais · 28 June 2022 21:58

so I went back to this and I noticed a space in the registry name. Correcting that registry name I get the following error now

[Error] IM was unable to execute the requested command.
[Error] TargetInvocationException

I tried both 32-Bit DWord and 64-Bit Qword
