Updated PDQ Inventory, now it doesn't start.

I deleted the log database and now it works. Great job.

Yeah, sorry about that. This is a bug we're investigating. You found our recommended workaround of deleting/renaming the log.db file.

Isn't the bug because you already have an unique id named IX_Versions_Version? Or some collision like that.

Just thought I'd chime in as well. I was running version 16.5 and trying to run the installer to 16.6. The installer would simply crash after I consented to the UAC prompt. I saw the above comments and renamed the log.db file and everything ran smoothly thereafter.

FYI, the information from the Windows event log:

what was the ultimate solution to this? I have been back and forth with support, including a db repair and upload. Issue persists. I also tried to do a db restore from a recent BU, no dice. Also tried deleting the log file, same result. The tech I have been working with is great I just wanted to see if there was something else I can try while the issue is being looked at on PDQs side. Thanks

It looks like you were actually running into a different problem. Your database had a null entry in the AutoReports table that the console didn't know how to handle. Hopefully the fixed database Solutions sent you solves the problem 😃
