Answering a question with two questions:

1. Do you see any exception message in the application if you choose Run
to continue?
2. What happens when you run the app outside the IDE?

I ask this because, AFAIR, the exception is deliberate - if
IBO$SCHEMA_VERSION doesn't exist, i.e. the exception occurs, then IBO
handles the exception by proceeding to create it and populate the table,
before going on to create the cache files.

Could you report back, please?
