Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. SQLite Setup Errors:

• Run PowerShell as Administrator
• Enable script execution:

  Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope Process

2. Build Errors:

• Verify Visual Studio C++ workload installation
• Check SQLite files in sqlite/include and sqlite/lib
• Ensure correct platform (x64) selection

3. Runtime Errors:

• Verify sqlite3.dll presence in executable directory
• Check database file permissions
