When you switch profiles, the wizard changes the values of the
related controls to those of that profile. Think of 'profiles' as a
set of defaults for each backend. The error you got is what happens
if you try to set a dDropdownList control (i.e., a wxPython Choice
control) to a string value that is not one of its choices. So for
some reason you have a profile that has a bad value in it. My guess,
since I can't seem to reproduce it here, is that since you said that
tried Dabo before, you might have an old preferences file saved on
your disk that has an invalid value in it, causing the error. Try
deleting this file and see if the problem goes away.
To find your pref file, open a DOS prompt and type the following:
C:\>python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Apr 18 2007, 08:51:08) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import dabo.lib.utils as utils
>>> utils.getUserAppDataDirectory("Dabo")
u'C:\\Documents and Settings\\Ed Leafe\\Application Data\\Dabo'
Look in the folder it specifies, and rename the file named
'DaboPreferences.db' to something else, and then try the wizard
again. Let me know if the error goes away, or if it still happens.
One more thing: the whole 'profiles' thing is not necessary and,
IMO, a bit confusing. You can ignore it completely, and simply select
'MsSQL' from the 'DbType' list, and go from there.

It's hard to tell what the problem is when the program doesn't tell
you anything! ;-)
Try this: open a DOS prompt, and navigate to the folder containing
daborun.exe. Run it from there, and you should get the Open File
dialog again. After you close it, if there is an error that is
crashing the app, you'll get a traceback that you can then copy and
post here.
