Signifikant Offline fails to mount the database

When the application starts, it will mount a database with all parts and modules. When a later version of the database is published, than the version currently installed on the Offline client computer, the application will fail.

A concurrent version of the LocalDb component is attached to the installation package, but it is not installed when LocalDb of a previous version is already installed. To enable the use of later database version, install the later version manually, restart the computer, and try to open Signifikant Offline again.

Installer is found at: Components\AnyTime\Components\Utility\SqlLocalDB_x64.msi

From version 5.1, LocalDb is in version SqlServer 2019 (15.0.2000).

Should the problem still persist, it is perhaps caused by the LocalDb installation is not complete and needs a patch to make the new - latest - version, the active one. In that case, open a DOS prompt in Administration mode and execute following.

sqllocaldb stop mssqllocaldb sqllocaldb delete mssqllocaldb sqllocaldb create MSSQLLocalDB

Thus the connection to LocalDb is routed to the latest installed version and the database will be connectable again.
