Hi Doug,

and thank you for the prompt reaction!

The currdbversion version is indeed 57 however we don’t have a db we can
revert to...

So the questions remain:

- how does the installer recognize whether it’s dealing primary vs
secondary server

or

- how can we convince it to think of this server as primary server.

Is a secondary server secondary forever? No right?
