Beta 5 won't connect databases

Today I did a clean installation of beta 5 on windows 10 machine. Before I uninstalled beta 2 I did a backup of all databases. Now, when I want to connect them I got the message "new database has been created but initialization failed, check the log file"
The most interesting thing is that I successfully connected one database, but for all others I'm getting this message.
Any suggestions? Thanks

The same thing happened to me, I solved it "activating collaboration"

I can't activate collaboration because all my databases are disk databases so I can't connect them as SQL databases

I have the same problem and of course you can't have DVR 16 and DVR 17 on the same computer

All my databases came up just as I left them. (And yes, I did uninstall beta 4 first.)

No, I don't have Resolve 16 and 17 on the same machine.
But I found the solution that somehow works for me. I just created new folder to put databases in it and somehow it connects. The folder is on the same drive as the one that don't works

Well maybe I made a mistake, because after I uninstalled beta2 I delete all the folders related to Resolve. I presume, that if I didn't delete those folders, my databases will show up

Well, I presume that Blackmagic adviced to make a clean install (from the scratch) to avoid some problems that could pop up when you install new version over older one. I knew that if I left all those Blackmagic folders on my drive some settings will be there even when I uninstall the old beta version. I tought those files could make some problems, therefore I made a clean, totaly new installation as I made it when I first time installed Resolve on this machine. And I end up with this (fortunately solved) problem
