I feel your pain. And my guess as to whether BioWare will fix it, no. If I remember correcctly, the toolset for KOTOR had similar issues that I don't think was ever addressed. At least my experience with it was not pleasant. I can't even use the bloody thing now! even though it was working fine last night! and I had ALREADY fixed the SQL problem. (or thought I had). Imagine if Honda made cars like that. Half the time they broke down in the middle of driving and a decent percentage of the time you couldn't even start the car and had to replace the engine. I mean what the hell is that?! Now even if I get it to work, what assurance do I have that the next day it won't have the same problem? I apologise if this is a bit of a rant but it is SO frustrating! :confused: start the server configuration thingy from sql. make sure all database instances are enabled on all databases. if they aren't enable them. if they are exit the configuration manager start the toolset should now work (at least it does for me)
