************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

How to repeat:
Run the installer and enter a root password that includes any or all of the above characters.

Suggested fix:
Better error message or allow the password to include those characters.

Thank you for the bug report. Which exactly step the installer failed for you (trying to start the service in the configuration process)?. Thanks.
[18 Jun 2016 0:44] Benjamin Bojko
Ah, of course.

It happened during the "Apply Server Configuration" view at the "Starting Server" step, right after "Initializing Database".

When I attempted to reconfigure the server using the installer I would get the same error (System.ArgumentException: Keyword not supported. Parameter name: 3dynlv;protocol) when prompted for the root password.

Hope this helps!
