Paul, i wonder why but there is no Inventory Directory. As the "normal" Update procedure goes over 1000 steps we build an own update procedure with 5 steps. On 10 PCs we had no problems with it! Well it's worth to copy an installation from a good installation to that one. I can try it in two weeks - i'm sitting in Liechtenstein, Switzerland and the Server is located in France...
