Oops! Unable to Start MainType

Post by Bhikkhu Pesala »

What did I do wrong?
Database manager reports database has a serious problem!: Failed to connect to database: TMainDBMgr.Database does not exist! "C:\ProgramData\High-Logic FontService\data\fonts.db3"
The other day I used FmsConfig.exe to create a backup, and moved the backup to DropBox.

This is the thread where I did the backup. The backup folder is in my DropBox, which I figured would be the best place to keep it.

Copying files to dropbox doesn't usually remove them from their original location.
