    Something has gone wrong during the installation. Those funny paths on the D drive are supposed to be replaced by correct paths by Setup, but somehow this did not happen.

    I would recommend that you uninstall the lot and start again. As a preventive action take a look at this article, in case you have one of the disk drives that is causing the issue covered in the article.

    Hi @Malte Boden

    Database 'model' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space.

    Here are some workarounds:

    1. If possible, add more hard drive space either by removing of unnecessary files from hard drive or add new hard drive with larger size.
    2. Check if the database is set to Autogrow on.
    3. Check if the account which is trying to access the database has enough permission to perform operation.
    4. Make sure that .mdf and .ldf file are not marked as read only on operating system file system level.

    Best regards,

    Cosmog Hong
