Issue

When installing the Administration Server, an error may occur at the database creation step which does not allow to complete the installation.

Error example:

"Error has occurred while installing: Generic db error: "5118 '
{42000}
'The file "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\KAV.mdf" is compressed but does not reside in a read-only database or filegroup. The file must be decompressed.' LastStatement='IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT name FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases WHERE name = 'KAV') CREATE DATABASE [KAV];'"."

Solution

  1. Open the properties of the folder with the files of the corresponding Database Management System (DBMS). For example: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\
  2. Open the General tab and click Advanced in the Attributes section.
  3. Clear the checkbox Compress contents to save disk space.
  4. Click OK → OK.
  5. Restart the SQL Server service or the computer on which the error occurs.
  6. Run the installation of the Administration Server once again.
