Solution

    1. You should install the same version as you had before you lost your original machine. You can download get an older VisualSVN Server version at https://www.visualsvn.com/server/changes/

      You can upgrade your VisualSVN Server instance later. Make sure to read the upgrade guide at https://www.visualsvn.com/support/topic/00082/

    2. VisualSVN Server does not support BDB fs-type repositories. Are you sure that the repository that errors our was ever hosted on VisualSVN Server? If not, then you might be required to dump-load the repository to FSFS fs-type repository. See the KB article "How can I import my existing repository into newly installed VisualSVN Server?" at https://www.visualsvn.com/support/topic/00010/

      To determine the fs-type of your repository run the following command: type <path-to-repository>\db\fs-type.

      What is the result? Is it fsfs or bdb?
