Thanks for the information, this can be handy in case of problems. But I don't think this is a nice upgrade path for my customers... There are not so many, but this is complex to explain. Not sure this happens all the time, I've tried it on two machines now, and both have this problem. Are here other people who have this problem or don't have this problem after upgrading to 3.106 ? Is there documentation on "how to upgrade to 3.106" ?
