There are several possibilities for this error. One is that the database option was not chosen when MicroStation was installed. To check whether a database option has been installed: open Windows Explorer and navigate to the directory where MicroStation is installed. Go to your … Program \ MicroStation directory. Under this directory, check to see if you have a database folder. If the database folder is not there, databases were not installed with the original installation. When using the typical install option from the MicroStation installer, databases are not installed, you must click the option for databases. When you select the Complete Install option, database files are automatically installed.
