Startup Error after 7.5 upgrade Windows

Did an upgrade to version 7.5 using the in place upgrade technique. (i.e. installing over my existing 6.2 installation).

Getting this error when trying to start 24x7 on the desktop

Database interface not found: name=SQLite

here is further info from debug.log

This appears to be an issue with old preferences.xml file from previous install not having all required database driver registrations. Can you please rename that file and rerun setup to make it generate a new file version?

Thank you I will try that and report back.

Your suggestion worked.
thanks
