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

C:\ProgramData\RisingRoad\Foxhound1>ECHO OFF
Stopping the Foxhound engine if it is running...
SQL Anywhere Stop Server Utility Version 11.0.1.2276
