UPDATE:

The sleuths at HowardForums have pointed out that if you’re having issues, you may have to hack around the application’s Configuration.xml file by changing Once again, do so at your own risk! If you’re getting an Oracle error, try disconnecting from the internet. Another thing they’ve pointed out after rooting around the app’s insides is that the Storm might not be supported! One post is already reporting this result, but if any brave souls are willing to try it out on the Storm, please do and let us know how it turns out, good or bad!
