Hiya, James:

We just upgraded from 5.0 to 5.5.4 this weekend and everything went very
smoothly.  There was an undocumentd bug in one of the install job
streams that moves a file called STOREXL52.  Called the response center
and they had is up and running the rest of the AUTOINST again in about 5
minutes.

Good luck!

Roby
