Issue
When upgrading to PME from an earlier version, the 'Create Database' step times out, causing the 'Verify Databases' step to fail.

Environment

Cause
The default timeout for the 'Create Database' step is 20 minutes for PME 9.0 and 30 minutes for PME 2020 and later versions. If the databases are large, it can sometimes take longer than 30 minutes to finish upgrading the databases, resulting in this step timing out. Since the database upgrade doesn't complete, the installer does not pass the 'Verify Databases' step.

Resolution
*Warning: Take backups of any files prior to modifying them. Ensure the backups are in a location that will not be overwritten (i.e. the Desktop).

1. Click Exit and close out of the installer
2. The installation media cannot normally be edited, so either copy the install disc to the hard drive or download and extract the PME installer .iso using a .iso file extractor (e.g. 7-Zip)
3. Navigate to setup\ BrokerFragments
4. Right-click > Edit the Database.Core.broker.xml file

Note: The example below using the values from PME 9.0. The timeout is 1800000 ms for PME 2020.
