This turned out to be more of a chore than I expected.   Apparently, I 
tried to delete RC3 manually, before installing V7.1.  This left the 
Registry with a lot of entries pointing to missing files, etc.  I had to 
use a Registry fixer to get rid of the missing links.  I had no idea 
that Q modified the reqistry, and with so many items!

So, beware.  Use the Windows uninstaller for any  version of Q, when you 
need to uninstall it.
