SYMPTOMS
Running Analyze returns the following error message:
CAUSE
The analyze utility is unable to find the database.
RESOLUTION
Ensure that Analyze is pointing to the correct database location. It should include DATA. For example, if the database resides on a file server mapped to drive F:
Analyze -i- f:\VSS\data
The full syntax is:
ANALYZE [-B<directory>] [-C] [-F] [-I-] [-V] [-X] [-?] [-H] <Full Database Path>
This particular message is corrected in later revisions of Analyze.exe. However, later versions of Analyze (specifically 1309 or above) also fail if you don't include the data directory as part of the entire path to the Database. In that case, the following error appears:
where the Version.dat file is located in the data directory. For more information about the newest analyze utility, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

STATUS
This behavior is by design.
