Solution 2

  • Uninstall the failed SQL database(s). The BuildSoft-databases usually contains ‘BS’ in their name.
  • Go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\*NameOfTheDatabase*\MSSQL\DATA
    *NameOfTheDatabase* is usually ‘MSSQL12.SQLEXPRESS14’ or similar containing ‘BS’ (= short for BuildSoft) in the name.
  • Delete all files starting with ‘bs’, like:
    • bs_Authentication
    • bs_Exchange
    • bs_Gateway
    • bs_UBSM
  • Manually install a new SQL database. Give it a different name then then the previous databases.
  • Run the Diamonds. Select the JUST CREATED SQL database (local)\SQLEXPRESS_The_Name_You_Gave from the list.
