BUG: State Validation Error Occurs If Using New Database Wizard

ID: Q189407

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

When trying to use the "New Database Wizard" in Visual InterDev the error message "State Validation Error" may occur between Steps 1 and 2 of the wizard. After clicking OK Visual InterDev shuts down.


CAUSE

This is currently caused by a limitation in Visual InterDev 1.0. If the disk partition on the SQL Server machine where you are trying to create the database has more than 2.1 GB of available hard drive space, this error will occur.


RESOLUTION

The current resolution is to reduce the amount of available hard-drive space on the SQL partition so that it is less than 2.1 GB. This can be done by either increasing the size of the database devices in SQL or by moving the SQL Server to a smaller partition.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.


MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a SQL disk partition that has more than 2.1 GB of available hard disk space AFTER SQL has been installed.


  2. Start Visual InterDev.


  3. From the File menu, select New and click New Database Wizard from the Projects tab.


  4. Select the SQL server in step one above and click next. The error will occur immediately after this.


  5. Reduce the available hard disk space on the SQL partition to be less than 2.1 GB and try steps 2 through 4 again. This time the error will not occur.
