We are doing a migration from MWS 71 to 712 and are facing lot of issues. Then I did a fresh install of MWS db scripts and when I start MWS it did install any of the components in …/MWS/server/default/deploy folder and it throws the below error when it tries to install the components in …/MWS/server/default/deploy folder.

Below is a sample error for one such component.
Not sure how to proceed from here.
