Please help me to resolve the below issue.

An error occurred whilst configuring Blue Prism localdb.

Hello Alan,

Thank you for sharing, it's good to hear you're up and running.

On the face of it, it's extremely unlikely that re-download would have been the resolution.  If we'd have had a bad download, which is always possible, then the whole file would have been corrupted and we wouldn't have been able to run it.  However, maybe downloading to a different location may have given slightly different permissions / behaviour.

Re: I could not do these two uninstall steps from the Getting Started guide

• My first thought was, "Yes, you're right. Why we've done that and how's it been like that for a year without anyone noticing?"
• But, the 2 lines are intended to be ran (copied or retyped) into the Windows Command Line / Prompt.
• I knew you were right with the SqlLocalDB.exe file being in the Binn directory.
• So, I double checked, and the way Windows Command Prompt works is it knew that last part of the path was the executable (.exe application). I've included a screenshot below, we could also put the .exe into the path too.
  • Really appreciate the feedback there, I'll mention to our Technical Author team who do a great job in providing content and see if we should change it to include the .exe in the path.

Hello Alan,

A final note to add that our Technical Authors have approved and published the change to the uninstall steps to include the .exe part to help prevent future confusion.

Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Chris,

I came across the same error

"BluePrism.DatabaseInstaller.DatabaseInstallerException: Unable to determine whether database exists - A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server.

"

I had BluePrism installed, this error appeared so I uninstalled it following the guide, everything moved ok while uninstalling but once I installed it again the same error appeared.

Can you let me know what may be happening?

Thanks,

I solved the issue myself.
The local db was not creating so had to go with:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\140\Tools\Binn\sqllocaldb create blueprismlocaldb
and then
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\140\Tools\Binn\sqllocaldb start blueprismlocaldb

The issue I have now is before opening the program I have to go to the CMD and start the blueprismlocaldb with the last commend above. Cannot find how to leave it fix to be kept running while the computer is on, and to start everytime I turn on the PC. Will dig around the community see if I can find the solution

Hello Chris,
Thanks for sharing your ideas and troubleshooting steps. I am facing the same issue (highlighted in 1st message by Suresh). 
The Learning edition was working fine, until my Operating system is upgraded from Win10 (Home) to Windows 11 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 22000). Is it compatible with Windows 11? I tried re-installing as per the instructions provided in uninstalling manual. However, I am getting an error message (highlighted in 9th message by Alan) and was not able to install & launch the application.

Your insights are much appreciated.

I remember 2 years ago when first got this issue. Solved back then because I was working with IT guys... It's incredible that It stills happens for a simple learning software. It should not be so technical in my opinion.

The error that I get after creating user and password with admin as user is the same as the others:

BluePrism.AutomateAppCore.LocalDatabaseInstaller.get_a()
em BluePrism.AutomateAppCore.LocalDatabaseInstaller.get_DatabaseExists()
em BluePrism.AutomateAppCore.LocalDatabaseInstaller.FullInstall(String username, SafeString password)
em AutomateUI.WelcomeWizard.j(Object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)

So in order to solve this we need to install SQLMS and do the steps that Nuno suggested. Not very straight forward but I'll try.
