Liz,

I tried running it as an Administrator without any luck.

I've requested that the hosted services provider disable security scanning
on the executable and the directories where the database files live but they
have to pass it by their SysOps team for approval.  I'll post a response
if/when they make that change.

Thanks for your suggestions!
