I searched around for leftover configuration (in files or registry) and found in folder
C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\BMW_Coding_Database\** *******Database.exe_Url_btajmppliulum3aji4oez1xsfb wzorpg\1.2.0.0
the file
user.config
which is a text based XML file.
I edited the file and changed

<setting name="OfflineMode" serializeAs="String">
<value>False</value>

from True to False

then I was able to launch the application again.

I am not sure I understand what Offline mode is intended to do, but it doesnt work on my setup. Hope this info is helpful in resolving the problem and for other users who may have got stuck in this unusable condition.

thanks again! great tool!

Thanks for this, I ran into the same issue with the current version of the database tool, running on Windows 7.

It seems that off-line mode is broken.
