I was using Cortex 1.4.4 b2729, trying to create a new local database using instructions from here: How to set up a separate test environment / database for CORTEX Dailies
So I launch 1.4.4, click Database button, click New. I named it “test” and point the directory to C:\ProgramData\MTI\test. Clicked Create. Now I can see the “test” database in the list. I select it and click OK. Cortex crashes. In the crash alert, I clicked Show Problem Details. Here’s what it shows:

The odd bit is the “DirectoryNotFound”.
Anyway, I relaunch 1.4.4. There’s no projects - it’s a blank database. In the “Database” window it shows the “test” database is active. So this is great! Cortex created a new empty database. In the “test” folder there’s a new “DB” subfolder and an empty “templates” folder. Cortex just crashed when trying to switch to the new database.
The big problem is with 1.5.1 beta (b4449). (Preface: we have manually renamed the MTI\DB folder to keep the 1.4.4 and 1.5 databases separate.) Same steps - this time I’m making a new database named “test3” and changing the path to C:\ProgramData\MTI\test3. I click “Create” and test3 shows up in the list. I select test3 and click OK and it crashes. Same type of error - DirectoryNotFound

When I relaunch 1.5.1, Cortex is still using the older database. When I click the “Database” button, there’s no record of test3. It’s like Cortex crashed before it even made the “DB” and “templates” folders.
Are there any other updates I’m missing? .NET framework is 4.5 (not 4.5.1 or 4.5.2). Win7 SP1.
Thanks,
