  9. Testing: After completing the setup, perform some basic tests to ensure that DHIS2 is functioning correctly. Create a sample dataset, enter data, and generate reports to validate the installation.

By following these comprehensive instructions, you should be able to install DHIS2 version 2.39 successfully on your Windows Server 2022 without encountering the HTTP Status 404 - Not Found error.

Good pointers right there. One last thing is to make sure that your
JAVA_HOME, JAVA_OPT and DHIS2_HOME environment settings are all set accordingly.
