After upgrading if the Intel® EMA WebUI does not work and IIS produces the following error.
check if the following C:\inetpup\wwwroot\bin\ directory has been deleted; an uninstall and reinstall of Intel® EMA may be necessary. When uninstalling the Intel® EMA software, don’t remove the Database or the Mesh Cert, this will likely help you avoid the step of restoring the DB and cert from backup.
