Problem

When upgrading a Datacap 8.0.1 application conversion to 9.0, the upgrade fails. The appwiz_convert.log shows: ************ DStudio Application Wizard Convert 8.0.1 to 9.0 Logs ******************** 10/15/2015 12:53:33 PM Converting application : APT 10/15/2015 12:53:33 PM Could not connect to source admin database :An OLE DB Provider was not specified in the ConnectionString. An example would be, 'Provider=SQLOLEDB;'.

Symptom

Another form of the error in the appwiz_convert.log is:
