System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file c:\sage\peachtree\company\~PVSW~.LOC because its being used by another process

Question

I am having an issue even beginning an api session from the code below I get the above exception. The Actian Zen workgroup Engine has a lock on the file. 
 // the main session into the Sage 50 application PeachtreeSession apiSession = new PeachtreeSession(); // start the session. // with no application ID, you can only open Sample companies apiSession.Begin(""); 
 foreach (CompanyIdentifier ci in apiSession.CompanyList()) Console.WriteLine($"Company Name : {ci.CompanyName}"); 
 Any help would be appreciated. 
 Thanks

Thanks. I contacted support and they had me uninstall and reinstall the Actian Zen engine. That fixed the problem for me. It doesn't answer why it was happening, but at least I can move on now. ;-) 
 If anyone needs it, there is a tool for doing this which worked for me. Check out: Sage 50&mdash;U.S. Edition: Database Repair Utility Download Portal and Using the Sage 50 Database Repair Utility
