[sims] Dbattach is stuck!

[RogerCorrigan]

Hello, I have run SIMSINST.exe to install SIMS and I am on the Installing SIMS DB Install part and at the bottom of dbattach.exe it says Copying Database File Into The SQL Data Directory. It has been on this step for almost an hour. Both SIMSINST.exe and dbattach.exe are still responding, so they can't have crashed. Maybe it just takes a long time? Thanks In Advance For Your Help.

It can do. I normally say attach database later, then run dbattach and restore the database files. Unless you're using Capita training database, then you have to attach. If it's Win7 make sure you "run as administrator"

Yep, seems like you might need to look at the permissions to your SQL data directory here.
