STM32CubeProgrammer and STM32_Programmer_CLI fail complaining about missing STM32_Prog_DB_0xNNN.xml or 0xNNN.stldr files

This problem can be caused by not reading the correct device ID, in which case the 0xNNN above will be 0x000. Obviously those files do not exist. See solution here.

Another reason reason might be that STM32CubeProgrammer and STM32_Programmer_CLI try to use the incorrect (relative) paths. Some versions of the programs relied on using paths relative to the current directory and not the install directory.

A workaround is either to run the programs from the installation directory or symlink the missing files to a location where the programs try to look for them. The debug log messages give an indication for what these locations are.

The files actually are in the $(STM32Cube)/STM32CubeProgrammer/ Data_Base/ and $(STM32Cube)/STM32CubeProgrammer/bin/FlashLoader/ directories.
