OK, thanks to Jenny and to Sherry at Support, yes renaming the downloaded file Legacy5Setup.exe to LegacyNew.exe appears to have worked.
To elaborate a bit, I did not use the Update procedure from within Legacy, but rather downloaded the the full file from Millennia, then renamed it. I did NOT uninstall the October build which I had installed in C:\Program Files\Legacy5\, but DID first delete the folder C:\Legacy\ (actually about 3 or 4 times!). I did run Registry Mechanic just prior to re-trying the installation of LegacyNew.exe, although that may not have been necessary. My customized USR and other files appear to have remained intact from the earlier version. As have most of us users, I've installed numerous build updates, and this issue never arose before - all the previous updates that I can recall installed properly using /Internet /Check for Legacy Update and following the direct procedure to install. This is a new foible which did not exist thru last October. Definitely the Build Update menu needs to include some special instruction if it is going to remain this way. Ditto the download page on the Millennia website. Anyway, I'm a happy camper again, so thanks much!

Then, when you download Legacy again, rename the Legacy5Setup.exe file to LegacyNew.exe (case sensitive) and you'll be given the option where to direct the update..
