Re: Upgrading from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7

My advice would be DO NOT UPGRADE to 8.1.7 under W2K unless you definitely need new features brought up by this version. The list of problems I got while trying to do such an upgrade is endless, and I simply re-installed 8.0.5.

Of course this is my own limited experience ...
