Sorry but now i'm muthaF-in angry, this damn programme always comes up with something to F away an other complete day from my life doing nothing!!!

Had this problem before, using DB from the standard C: Program Files folder solved it, however it was an idiotic way, but it at least worked! Now after a patch it won't ever run anything ranging from hello world, to the sample projects. So don't come with "let me see your code" because i'm gonna explode right there.

Anybody ever had the "failed to loadDBA" problem ON A WINDOWS XP MACHINE, AND SOLVED IT?! HOWWW?!?!

Upgrade 75 resets the editor, and the "failed to loadDBA" starts appearing.

HOW TO SOLVE THIS?

Number one cause of these kinds of problems are antivirus, and desktop search programs.

Set your antivirus to exclude the directory you are compiling into (or temporarily disable it) and disable any search program you are using, then try compiling your program again.

First: Upgrade to 7.7

The last Win update broke everything. That release has the fix.

Second: Avast Antivirus, especially, blocks all DBP programs from running. A lot of people said that they had to completely uninstall Avast to get DBP programs to run. Even completely disabling Avast wasn't enough. It still has some background process running that isn't compatible.

Also running the program as the Administrator helps.
