cannot open db file on another drive

[tugadaq1]

New Install of MM 2024 refuses to open db file on any drive except C. User has full permissions on drives, can open, create and delete files on those drives. The ini file has been updated. The db is the db created initially in users roaming file on installation.
Message is:

Library database E:\Media\MediaMonkey2024\"n:\MM5.DB can't be opened, would....local Library?<br><br>Failed to open database....

OS is Windows 11 Pro 24H2 fully updated.

E:\Media\MediaMonkey2024\"n:\MM5.DB

It seems the path may have been set incorrectly.

A path with two driveletters?
Please check and correct the DBName= entry in your Mediamonkey.ini

A review of the dbname does indeed show the addition of the the E:\Media\MediaMonkey2024\ as part of the path. I remove it, check the file path and it is correct ie dbname=n:\MM5.db. Then when I open MM I get the same error. Check the dbname and discover MM has added E:\Media\MediaMonkey2024\ back to path. That addition is the path to the MM exe.

Are you using MM portable?

[tugadaq1]

So far as I know, I am not using portable. Never have. Unless I made a mistake on this last installation the answer is no, but I do not know how to confirm that.
