SQL error starting Syslog Viewer

The Syslog Viewer is not a tool we use often, but today, when trying to launch it, what we get is about a 15 second pause followed by the following error:

Cannot connect to the SQL database. Re-run the Installation Wizard.

...

Error=Invalid connection string attribute.

The ellipses represents the connection string. Here's the string shown in the error screen, formatted for easier read:

provider=SQLOLEDB.1;

persist security info=False;

use procedure for prepare=1;

auto translate=True;

packet size=4096;

workstation id=SERVERNAME;

use encryption for data=FALSE;

tag with column collation when possible=False;

user id=USERNAME;

Password='********';

data source=SQLSERERNAME;

initial catalog=SolarWindsOrion;

max pool size=1000
