Just some more on that.

About the only thing that gets updated/patched more often than security
apps is Windows.... so there are many chances for small errors to creep
in, whether it's just the security app, just Windows, or a combo of both.

The version of SAS (or any security app) that you installed months or
even years before may have gone thru dozens of engine updates, let alone
hundreds of database updates. You'd be surprised at how many patches
are "unpatches" to correct previous "miscalculations".

Installing a fresh version means you are getting the least cumulative
errors from "pushed" patches, as the patches that need unpatching are
left out entirely.

Sorry if my instructions on the uninstall/reinstall process was so wordy
and dragged-out. I try to make these diatribes fit more than just your
situation. What you got was intended to cover about any un/re install,
doesn't matter what app.
