Probably no need for step 2. And I think by skipping it, settings should
be retained (registry data and config files are not removed as with an
uninstall).
For
step 3 you can substitute any full install you own. If you have 8.01
or 8.02, fine, use that.
Experience tells me that you can re-install (within that major version)
Ipswitch products over a later version and keep the settings (if it was a new
setting introduced since the version you are installing, then no, it will
likely be lost). Done it quite a few times. I have not done it in this
particular case, but see no reason it would not work!

Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] WUG 8.04 patch - UP with no DOWN alert?
I have successfully backed-out 8.04 patch, but it's
ugly...here's how I did it:
1. Backup your entire WhatsUp program
folder.
2. Uninstall WhatsUp
3. Reinstall WhatsUp 8.0
4. Install 8.03 Patch
5. Install 8.03HF2 patch
6. From the backup folder, copy services.ini, hosttype.ini,
gallery.ini, mib.txt, and traps.txt back to the actual program
folder.
7. Start WhatsUp.
It's not perfect, though, you still have to reconfigure
things like the webserver and log rotation, and automatic map loading on
startup.
Anyways, it's not pretty, but it worked for
me...

Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] WUG 8.04 patch - UP with no DOWN alert?
I just
installed the WUG 8.04 patch and it seems like it's exhibiting the same behavior
in WUP that people have been complaining about -- UP alerts with no
corresponding DOWN alert.
I haven't
tested this sufficiently yet, but I did receve a few UP alerts for
devices that missed only 1 ping when my alert trigger for DOWN
notifications is 2.
Has anyone
else installed this patch yet and are you seeing the same results or is it just
me?
