* So you have database created by v4.0b2 ?


* WARN:  4.0b5 was broken build as we have found,
        and it cannot open other dbs,
        and its dbs cannot be opened.

May be you have installed 4.0b5?  But not 4.0b7 as you think...


* you can try open this db by Vstudio and see what happens.


** there is nothing special in move old dbs to V4.
    format is the same. Should work.


* May be you need send us your db
* May be try to diagnose and clone it by old version, which can open it.
