When installing Workflow Manager following error can occur:
Info] [5/16/2014 10:52:03 PM]: Processing completed
[Error] [5/16/2014 10:52:04 PM]: System.Management.Automation.CmdletInvocationException: Cannot create file 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\WFManagementDB.mdf' because it already exists. Change the file path or the file name, and retry the operation.
CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created. Check related errors. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot create file 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\WFManagementDB.mdf' because it already exists.
This error happen when you try to create a farm and previously existing farm database have not been correctly removed. For example the previously existing databases have been renamed and not deleted.
To workaround this issue, delete old databases or chose none default database names when creating the farm.
