Hello
Yes, today was a good day ;-)

This morning, after Steven's reply, I tried again with RSU ...
... and see: Everthing starts smooth but during the FPinst
process again I got an RC1 !

Checked the log and restarted again !
Some problems with one of an *.msg file !?
OK, I got the message that the previous installation didn't
end properly and I was asked to retry: YES, I did !

This time it worked properly but, checked with IPT, still FP15 !?

Well, I tried the 3rd time !
Well, everthing went perfect and smooth !
Well, IPT also shows FP16 installed now !

Do not ask how and why it was not working yesterday !?
I accessed the same URL's and my system was unchanged.
Also RSU was on most accurate level yesterday before I started !

Now both my similar C: partitions (PROD & TEST environment)
are up to date again ;-)

Steven and Gary, thanks for your assistance & comments !
Now I am ready to prepare for my new server-like P2P HDD and
partition topgraphy.

Good evening,
svobi
