Question: dbspawn/dbeng11 set ERRORLEVEL = 1

Answer: This is a generic error message produced by the dbspawn.exe utility when the Foxhound database fails to start properly because dbeng11.exe has detected some problem. To determine what the real problem is, try using one of the "debug" shortcuts to start the Foxhound engine:

All Programs - Foxhound1 - Tools - Start Foxhound via Firefox - debug

All Programs - Foxhound1 - Tools - Start Foxhound via IE - debug

Here's an example of this generic error message followed a more specific message:
C:\ProgramData\RisingRoad\Foxhound1>ECHO OFF
