The issue when things break is apparently not just the simple versions, but
mixing versions. Folks are having equal success with SP5 or SP6--the SP
just puts everything up at the same version.

You'll be fine unless you install one of those yellow-box products!

to that folder and run the exe..........thanx for the fix!
