Hi Dave-

Installed the trial version and I'm getting this error...I'm running the install .exe as an admin btw.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mark

Mark,

That's a Microsoft SQLLocalDB issue.  Here are some things to try:

1.    Try to run Pilot2ATC as Administrator to eliminate any access issues by right clicking the program file or icon and selecting Run as Administrator from the menu.  Since you ran the installation program as admin, this might do the trick.
2.    If you have a 3rd party anti-virus/security program, try starting without it running.  If that fixes the problem the anti-viruse/security program is likely blocking access to the SQL LocalDB program and needs to have some settings changed.
3.    If that doesn’t fix it, you can try installing the SQL LocalDB engine again.  Here’s a link to the Microsoft installer program on my Dropbox server: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b30wwk84t7a4ngp/SqlLocalDBx64.zip?dl=0     You can download, unzip and run the installer.  Take note if any error messages are given, but it should run without issue.  Then try starting Pilot2ATC again. 
4.     If that doesn't do it try deleting and recreating the SQLLocalDB as follows
⦁    Open a Windows command prompt as administrator.
⦁    Type the following command:  SQLLocalDB delete "MSSQLLocalDB"
⦁    Type the following command:  SQLLocalDB create "MSSQLLocalDB"
⦁    Type the following command:  SQLLocalDB start "MSSQLLocalDB"
⦁    Try starting P2A again

5.    There may be some corrupt or missing files in the MSSQLLocalDB work folder.  It is located at C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Local DB\Instances\MSSQLLocalDB  where <UserName> is your PC user name. Portions of the path may be hidden by default, so be sure Windows Explorer has Show Hidden Items checked in the View tab.   Locate this folder and delete the entire folder.  SQL will rebuild the folder and valid contents on the next startup of Pilot2ATC.
 

Let me know what happens.

Dave

Three commands did it.

Thanks Dave.
