Errors in TestStand 4.1.1 SQL Schema

Question

I'm trying to create a new MSDE 2005 SQL Server database using the new TestStand 4.1.1 schema. I have used the SQL Server Stored Procedure to build a .sql file and then run this SQL file. I am getting several errors similar to the following:
> CREATE TABLE STEP_RESULT ( ID uniqueidentifier PRIMARY KEY, UUT_RESULT uniqueidentifier, STEP_PARENT uniqueidentifier, ORDER_NUMBER int, STEP_NAME varchar(255), STEP_TYPE varchar(255), STEP_GROUP varchar(32), STEP_INDEX int, STEP_ID varchar(32), STATUS varchar(255), REPORT_TEXT varchar(255), ERROR_CODE int, ERROR_MESSAGE varchar(255), CAUSED_SEQFAIL bit, MODULE_TIME float, TOTAL_TIME float, NUM_LOOPS int, NUM_PASSED int, NUM_FAILED int, ENDING_LOOP_INDEX int, LOOP_INDEX int, INTERACTIVE_EXENUM int, CONSTRAINT STEP_RESULT_FK FOREIGN KEY (UUT_RESULT) REFERENCES (ID))
Command failed with the following error...:
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '('. (-2147217900)
I have tried to run this statement in both MSDE and through the TestStand database viewer with similar results. Is anyone else experiencing this problem or have any ideas?

The feature to generate the SQL files from a schema does not always generate perfect SQL statements, but get you closer to where you need to be than trying to create it from scratch. Have you considered looking at the default SQL files included with the product, specifically the "SQL Server Create Stored Proc Result Tables.sql" file located in the "<TestStand>\Components\Models\TestStandModels\Database" directory? This is a file that should work out of the box for the default schemas for SQL server and MSDE. There are other SQL files for the other default schemas, and there are older SQL files for previous releases in the "Previous Schemas (2.x-4.0)" subdirectory.
