@TV_Ken The above looks pretty good, though you don't have your paths quite right:
As you can see, the folders that should be visible are not, both above and below:
Please run the OliveTin Environment Variables Generator/Tester, and post the results here.
Also, can you confirm that you have a default distro like Debian or Ubuntu installed, and that you have "integration" with your default distro enabled in Docker Desktop?
I don't know what these are or where to get them.

The above are the values you should be using, so copy and paste the above. Then in Portainer-Stacks, stop the olivetin stack, go into the stacks editor and scroll down to the Environment variables section. In advanced mode, you can replace the current set of variables with what you copy and pasted from here. Finally, click Update the stack, and run the healthcheck again including posting the results here.
In Docker Desktop Settings-Resources-WSL Integration, things should look similar to this, though you'll probably only show one distro installed:
How did you get OliveTin EZ-Start installed, if you don't have a Linux distro installed?
First line of the post with the installation steps:
Debian or Ubuntu are available from the Microsoft Store:
He is probably on WSL 1. I think that is default on Windows 10. Updating to WSL 2 shouldn't be too hard.
@TV_Ken When you have a moment can you run the following in PowerShell:
PS C:\Users\slayer> wsl --version
WSL version: 2.5.9.0
Kernel version: 6.6.87.2-1
WSLg version: 1.0.66
MSRDC version: 1.2.6074
Direct3D version: 1.611.1-81528511
DXCore version: 10.0.26100.1-240331-1435.ge-release
Windows version: 10.0.26100.4946
And post the results here...
I just installed Debial.
PS D:\TV_Data> wsl --version
WSL version: 2.5.10.0

DXCore version: 10.0.26100.1-240331-1435.ge-release
Windows version: 10.0.19045.6216
Go ahead and update the OliveTin stack as described in post #15, and then run the healthcheck again and post the results here...
I did the edits in Portainer, and confirmed that they were properly there, but the address of the server is lost in Olive Tin.

Other odd things:
In Docker, I have 2 running containers:
olivetin-for-channels and olivetin-easystart
Also under Docker/Images, I have 2 Portainers. One from 2 months ago, and one from 2 years ago. I tried to delete the old one, but Docker says it is in use and can't be deleted.
To get this, I had to manually type in the server IP and Port because they are not in the environment.

Can you post a screenshot from the OliveTin stack in the Portainer-Stack-Editor, showing the environment variables? It should look something like this:
OK, so you've mistakenly edited the compose itself, however as it says in the comments at the top of the compose:
version: '3.9'
services:
olivetin: # This docker-compose typically requires no editing. Use the Environment variables section of Portainer to set your values.
To fix this you need to stop the OliveTin stack, and paste in the current compose. This is designed not to be edited, as any values specific to your installation are reflected in the Environment variables section:
Here's the current compose from this post:

All of the Docker Composes in the above post are designed to work this same way. The compose is designed to be static, with only the env vars changing. This makes it extremely easy to identify what's specific to your installation, and to update a compose when needed.
Once we have the full version of OliveTin running correctly, I'll have you stop and remove the EZ-Start version. For now though, it's fine to have both -- we're only using the full version on port 1337 however.
Everything seems to be working, but I'm back to the original question. Where do I find the CSV output file?
