ALERT: If your database is version 7.3.3, 7.3.4, 8.0.4, or 8.0.5 and your installer is not version 3.3.1.2.4 or higher, then your installer is not Y2k compliant. After the century date change, if the installer is run, a Dr. Watson error will occur. The patch that fixes this problem may be downloaded from the following URLs:

ftp://209.246.5.40/server/patchsets/wgt_tech/server/win32/installer/33124/
