Solution:

DETAILS

This error is caused by installing product under a sub folder such as D:\CA\NetQoS instead of using default path D:\NetQoS.

The drive letter can be different, but not having the \NetQoS folder at the root of the drive is the problem.

The path gets set incorrectly in the file WindowsDSAUpdateSettings.sql (default path is D:\NETQOS\reporter\sql on the DSA/standalone).

Example of incorrect path in that file:
update settings set value = 'D:\\CA\NETQOS\\reporter\\datashare\\staging' where name = 'localPath'
