Here's what's written in minimserver.log:

Thanks again!

This error means that the old MinimServer 0.72 installation was not uninstalled successfully before 0.8.1 was installed, so you now have a mixture of conflicting files from both versions. This can happen if MinimServer 0.72 was still running when you installed 0.8.1. The installation instructions warn about this, but it's easy to accidentally overlook this step. This wouldn't matter for most version updates, but it does matter for 0.8.1.

Please do the following:

1) In Control Panel, check "Programs and Features" to see which versions of MinimServer are installed, and uninstall all versions you see there.

2) Delete the complete C:\Program Files\MinimServer folder (not the MinimServer folder in AppData)

3) Reinstall MinimServer 0.8.1

I think this will fix the problem.
