I tested the Install on a Fresh Windows Server 2016 OS.

-Ruby 2.6.+ to run SAW
https://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/

https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller2/releases/download/RubyInstaller-2.6.3-1/rubyinstaller-devkit-2.6.3-1-x64.exe

https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller2/releases/download/RubyInstaller-2.6.7-1/rubyinstaller-devkit-2.6.7-1-x64.exe

- For Sandstorm
Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53587
Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable: https://aka.ms/vs/15/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

- I recommend using the dashboard with Google Chrome. I noticed Internet explorer would not pick up the clicks. Of Course.

- Download a .zip of SAW and Extract
https://github.com/Joe-Klauza/sandstorm-admin-wrapper

Run the installer for rubyinstaller-devkit-2.6.7-1-x64.exe

Make sure to keep all the Default check boxes checked. It will need MYSYS2 Development Tool Chain. The end of the Install will prompt to run "ridk install". Leave it checked and click Finish.

It will launch another window to Install MSYS2.
Type "1" and press enter to do the Basic Install.

When it finishes.
Type "2" and press enter to do the MYSYS2 system update. It will run for a bit. When it finishes you can press enter to close. (might get a pacman error, just ignore :/)

Run the installers for Visual C++ 2015 and Visual C++ 2017. I did the x64 for both.

After you have Extracted the sandstorm-admin-wrapper-master.zip. Find the windows_start.bat and give it a couple clicks. Run the windows_start.bat.

It will install SAW and launch the SAW web server. When it finishes if successful it will output
2019-08-31 07:50:46 -0700 | INFO | Webserver initialized! Visit: https://127.0.0.1:51422

You can now open chrome and visit https://127.0.0.1:51422 log in with the admin as username and password as the password. It will prompt to change the password.

SAW will default to the Steam Install Dashboard. When you click install button. It will take you to the steamcmd download page.

Download the Steamcmd zip
https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd.zip


Extract the zip. Place the contents into the installation directory
PathTo\sandstorm-admin-wrapper-master\sandstorm-admin-wrapper-master\steamcmd\installation

Now I manually run the steamcmd.exe once to update and close the window. (You may be able to refresh the SAW page and click server install, have not tried it yet.)


You should be able to refresh the SAW dashboard page and Steamcmd install will show installed.

You can now click Install for the server install.
Wait and let it run.

if the Output log looks like it runs then stops logging. It most likely still installing the server. Steamcmd is not perfect and sometimes does not log output for a few minutes.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Do not leave the SAW page when installing/updating steamcmd or the server!!. If you leave the page during the install and go somewhere else in the SAW Dashboard it will stop and be broken. May error when you try to install again.

You will have to stop SAW server window.
Delete whats in
PathTo\sandstorm-admin-wrapper-master\sandstorm-admin-wrapper-master\sandstorm-server
and
PathTo\sandstorm-admin-wrapper-master\sandstorm-admin-wrapper-master\steamcmd\installation

Then copy a fresh copy steamcmd to the installation folder and run. then try to re-download Sandstorm.

Start the server windows_start.bat

You will have to open the Ports you configured on the Firewall. If the server is on your LAN and behind a Router/Firewall. You will have to Forward Game and Query Ports to the IP of the server for other Players to connect. I recommend not forwarding or opening the Port 51422 for the dashboard.


If you are running this on a VPS and want to be able to access the Dashboard from anywhere.
Go to C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\sandstorm-admin-wrapper-master\sandstorm-admin-wrapper-master\config

Edit config.toml with Notepad
find the line
admin_interface_bind_ip = "127.0.0.1"
and change to
admin_interface_bind_ip = "0.0.0.0"
save and close
restart the server

Open the port 51422 on the Firewall and connect to the Public IP of the server.
https://x.x.x.x:51422

I did a re-install of Ruby. Some of the prompts I got, you will not see.
