I have deleted dbGallery from the sql server. In order to recover I unistalled dbGallery. I was hooping when reinstalling to get a new vreation of the DB. Unfortunately when I reinstall some files remain and prevent to have a fresh installation.
One file, user.config, is left after the uninstall. A simple modification to that file will instruct DBGallery to create a fresh database the next time DBGallery is run. Windows likes to hide user.config files but it is always in a place similiar to:
The values in bold will change based on machine and login. If you have problems finding it in Windows Explorer, try Start | Run then type cmd, followed by pressing enter. This brings up a command prompt. Then type "dir user.config /s". That will show where that file is.
In user.config look for the AppInitialized section and set it's value to False, as shown below. Or that file may be deleted telling DBGallery to use all its initial install defaults.
<setting name="AppInitialized" serializeAs="String">
<value>False</value> <---- This value would have been True, but needs to be set to False.
</setting>
Please let me know if you have any trouble with this or have any other questions.
Hi Marc,

C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\GRR_Systems,Inc.\DBGallery.exe_Url_fnlxkgib212arylfaaoe3g4bhvfw2eo3\4.2.0.0\user.config
The values in bold will change based on machine and login. If you have problems finding it in Windows Explorer, try Start | Run then type cmd, followed by pressing enter. This brings up a command prompt. Then type "dir user.config /s". That will show where that file is.
