Thanx for the the true helpfullness. The installer I have used and it worked find in obscurity, however when jobb done things still didnt work, it had overlaid files of the previous 2.8 installation without any hint of what it had been doing. There is no knowing of what files were there before and have been substituted, and indeed why it fails internally when linking the Vector package. I prefer to be incontrol even if it takes some more time.
