Thank you for the quick response, Renaud.

Well, I did the ³nessus-mkcert² and still had a new problem. Plus, I thought
I had downloaded the right version. So, to verify I re-did the download and
did an uninstall to verify it.

Then ran the installer, started Nessus Server Manager, entered new
registration code, updated plugins, & started the Nessus Server.
