If you have an issue installing Nintex Workflow & Nintex Live on your server. 

Symptom:

The installer completed successfully, but there were errors in the Event Viewer when starting the service from Central Admin.  After talking to Nintex support, they mentioned that there should have been a windows service "Nintex Live Relay Service".  But it was not listed. 

So re-install Nintex, and when it is complete, look at the logs hoping to see more information about the service. 

Luckily, its location is listed, so use installutil.exe to manually install it.  

Open command prompt, run as Admin:

installutil "C:Program FilesCommon Filesmicrosoft sharedWeb Server Extensions15BINNintexLiveNintex.Live.RelayService.exe"

Go in Central Admin, System Settings, Manage Services on Server, and start Nintex Live Relay service.

This worked from me for the External Relay Service and I didn't have to install Nintex again. We are using SharePoint 2016 OnPrem. 

I logged on to the server and ran the following in PowerShell:

C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv4.0.30319installutil.exe "C:Program FilesCommon Filesmicrosoft sharedWeb Server Extensions16BINExternalPlatformNintex.External.RelayService.exe"

Location of the files may differ depending on your installation. I was then  able to start the service in Central Admin without errors.
