I'm using Metrowerks 9.3 on an XP-Pro, and trying to run a debug session with either the 5.2 or 5.4 debug Simulator from PalmSource. Just downloaded the latest versions from PalmSource's brain-damaged Developer Pavilion.

Whenever I try to start-up the debug session from Metrowerks I get the error message "Failed to download the Palm OS database. The database may be protected with DmDatabaseProtect()."

I get this message even if the program has never previously been installed in the Simulator, and I get it with 5.2 and 5.4 Debug versions of the Simulator.

I was able at one time to run the debug, but it froze at the third or fourth debug point with the Simulator taking 99% of system resources to go nowhere.

I can't find a FAQ in the Developer Pavilion which might have answered this. Does it exist?

I presume there's a simple fix to this.....
