    • Grafana v12.3.0 (20051fb1fc)
    • Windows 11 Enterprise
  • What are you trying to achieve?

    • Installing Grafana on a local Windows Machine
  • How are you trying to achieve it?

    • Downloaded windows11.msi file and ran install
  • What happened?

    • It installed without issue, but when running the console gives errors about the plugins not loading
  • What did you expect to happen?

    • Pluggins to load - Especially the PostgreSQL pluggin which it says is installed and is a core pluggin.
  • Can you copy/paste the configuration(s) that you are having problems with?

  • Did you receive any errors in the Grafana UI or in related logs? If so, please tell us exactly what they were.

    • When trying to create a data source with the PostgreSQL plugin the UI says the grafana-postgres-datasource failed
    • The console has two basic errors repeated many times

I had the same issue and found the same error. If you look at the folder structure it seems there is defect forming the path to the plugin.

I meet this issue too, seems it’s combinning a incorrect plugin path like “{url}”+“{abs path}”

do you know if the problem is only related to the installer package .MSI or it is also the problem still using zip files grafana-enterprise_12.3.0_19497075765_windows_amd64.tar.gz?
