This file should be correct for your NAS. What error message do you get when you try to install or start MinimServer? The message might be in the system log (Log Center) or it might be in the file MinimServer/appData/minimserver-out.log (File Station).

It's a curious one. Java 8 seems to be installed ok, and on installation that was the message I got - installation OK. However, when I try to start it, it reverts back to "Java stopped". When I try to install MinimServer, I get the message: "Failed to install MinimServer. Java is not installed or properly configured. Download and install the Java Synology package."
