Thank Mark, the funny thing is that while the installer was trying to start I opened another console to help staring manually but it said the server is already running. So it seems like the error message is a complete non-sense. Also I get a whole bunch of errors because the dumb installer is trying to import data into the system forms even though the data is already in place so it violates the unique key. This issue happened at so many upgrades and I have no idea why.
