Thanks for the log files.
The error "comservices.bin" not found is a subsequent error because of the error "Access to the path 'C:\Documents and Settings' is denied."
Do you have an idea, why access to "C:\Documents and Settings" shall not be allowed?
Is it in a cloud, or at any other place than on the same computer as the simulator is installed?
Interestingly this folder is not listed in any of the scenery definitions, so I don't know why EFB is trying to look into this folder.
As far as I know, I don't have a "C:\Documents and Settings" folder - isn't that an older windows thing? I'm on Win10 and it should be "%appdata%\local" right? Even if I show hidden files, that folder isn't there, and I don't know why EFB is looking there either. EFB is installed on the same computer, though OS, P3D and EFB are all on different volumes.

This add-on.xml file obviously points to an empty path. Could you verify whether in this file the path is really empty?

Thanks! I'll check!

Ok, thanks very much. That's now a point where we can start troubleshooting.
the first question is: do you RUN (not only install) the Server as Admin? This is one of the initial requirements for EFB v2.
Yes, both installation and program are run as admin.

I have re-downloaded, reinstalled both, and still get the "C:\Documents and Settings" access denied and comservices.bin errors. Log files attached.

Scott, have you remove the outdated AIRAC 1802 or 1801? The std inbuilt AIRAC in the database. If yes do as i did: uninstal and then instal EFB and don't remove the std AIRAC, just build the new 1807 beside. For me it works.
I am using the Navigraph data, but I did update it to 1807! I'll try your method but it sounds promising!
Update: Didn't help. I reinstalled with default Navigraph data, still got the comservices error. Also reinstalled with default aerosoft data and the dbBuilder still fails with the comservices error. Also, the second error is now cannot access "C:\Documents and Settings" which is not a real folder...

No, I'm talking about the database that gives you the error. You are working with 2.0.51, right? that's at least what you mentioned above. So - start the DatabaseBuilder, select the database shown there, delete it and start building a new database.
Yep. Sorry, thought I was clear. I've done exactly that. Same error. Thanks!

Have you considered deleting the database and rebuilding it after the update to 2.0.51?
I've never had a previous version 2, this is the first time I've installed. I've tried deleting the DB but it won't successfully create a database currently.

I'm using 2.0.51...

Same. One error is that access to path "F:\System Volume Information" is denied, which is curious. The second is a missing file "C:\Users\ScottGridley\Documents\AivlaSoft\EFB2\Server\DbBuilder\Base\P3D4\comservices.bin" - any thoughts?
EDIT: I uninstalled v1 EFB as I wanted to freshen up my routes, etc. Clean v2 install by the instructions. First start of server autolaunched DbBuilder, which exits with the two errors above. Starting server I get the same error as Oskar. Running P3Dv4.3, and I have installed both server and client on same machine in different folders on a second hard drive (not C:)...

BINGO! Bad add-on.xml!
The path was actually the issue. In the XML, the path was written as the old style ".\" which looks like it may not have been parsed correctly. That was causing the program to look in the root directory I guess? I changed it to "Scenery" explicitly and it now it compiled the database! Thanks for your rapid help here!
