If you need any additional information from me, please let me know.NVivo software is designed to help researchers organize, code, and analyze qualitative and mixed methods research data. I need to access this project as I have a paper due in January for my PhD annual progression meeting, so any advice on what I should do would be very much appreciated. At this point, I am really unsure as to what is wrong or how to fix it.

I have also tried to open the NVivo sample projects and these will not open either and NVivo presents the same error. My PC does not have any anti-virus software, so that is not affecting the installation I have run the NVivo Installation Repair Wizard more times than I can count, ensured that my licence key is valid/updated, I have ensured that the NVivo software is updated, and I have removed all traces of NVivo from my computer before reinstalling (I not only used the uninstaller that comes with the software but also used another software to check/ remove any traces of it from all hard drives). NVivo 12 is installed on my desktop PC (Windows 10) and my NVivo project is on my USB stick (I have not had any issues with storing my project on this device before, so I don't believe that is the issue). This might be because you are opening a standalone project in a server environment or NVivo has not been installed properly.'

The error that NVivo is spitting out is 'Database Component Failure. I am writing as I have an NVivo project that will not open no matter what I try to do.
