Hi,
When I install Isabelle2025-1 under my Windows 11 Home, the first time
Isabelle opens (automatically after installation) everything is fine.
But when opening again, I am getting the error message
"[SQLITE_CANTOPEN] Unable to open the database file (unable to open
database file)". What should I do?
To mention: I tried to reinstall Isablle but could only do so as admin
(in contrast to Isabelle2025). Isabelle2025 is working fine.
Yours
Daniel

Which installation directory did you choose?
What do you see in the Isabelle heaps directories? E.g. using the
Cygwin-Terminal with the following commands:
ls -alR "$(isabelle getenv -b ISABELLE_HOME_USER/heaps)"
ls -alR "$(isabelle getenv -b ISABELLE_HOME/heaps)"
