Corrupt configuration file (vstar.cfg)

[NickHealy_Hamilton]

Hi @zachary.milot

These are two separate issues:

If there was a forced restart while VENUS was actively running (or a power interruption to the PC) then required files used at either edit time or run time can be corrupted when improperly closed. If you can post your VStar.cfg I can take a look to see if the issue is recoverable, otherwise the software may require a repair. To provide instruction I would need to know what version of software you are running.

The second issue is an inability for run control to connect to the VENUS SQL server and establish a run database. For further instruction and insight, I would check out the following posts:

Venus 4, Installation .NET Framework

See below for pertinent materials. These and other materials can be found in the Lab Automation Forum folder. SQL Server Database Manual Installation Quick Guide - Prepare Vector Database Quick Guide - VENUS Reinstallation and Upgrades

Vector Database connection issue

The first thing I would try would be re-preparing the Vector database server. Sometimes this will clear SQL server related issues on installations that have been active for some time.

Thanks.
