Huh, I wonder when the windows package changed its defaults. O.k. so
what I would do is this:
1. Uninstall 8.3.7
2. Reinstall 8.3.4
3. Take a backup
4. Uninstall 8.3.4
5. Reinstall 8.3.7 in a new location
6. Restore backup
7. Test/Verify
7a. If o.k. remove 8.3.4 location
7b. If not o.k. check back
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
