Problem creating database during installation
I am attempting to set up a new Kentico site and when the installation process begins creating the database, I get the following error:

ERROR: An error occured: Could not find file 'd:\inetpub\wwwroot\Kentico\App_Data\Install\SQL\Data\BadWords_WordCulture.sql'.

I have verified that this file does exist and is not empty, and I have tried giving all users on my system full control of it, but the installation process keeps stopping when it gets to this point.

I am using version: 4.1 Build: 4.1.3518

RE:Problem creating database during installation
Hello,

This error may appear if there are some files from the installation missing. For example, we encountered the following error:

ERROR: An error occured: Could not find file 'D:\Projecten\Kentico\CMS\App_Data\Install\SQL\Data\CMS_WebTemplate.sql'.

if files like BadWords_Word.sql or CMS_MetaFile_*.sql where deleted. I would suggest to reinstall Kentico to make sure that nothing is missing.

I hope this helps.

Have a nice day.

Best regards,
Boris Pocatko

RE:Problem creating database during installation
Thank you for the reply, Boris. Unfortunately, I have verified that all of the source files are present and complete.

I will try installing locally and moving the installed site up to my production environment afterwards, I suppose.
