What it doesn't say is that you *also* need to go into the Options menu and change distribution name to "any". That is true for at least 4.9 and 4.10 CDs. >How-To-Repeat: Try installing following the directions, and you'll fail because it can't find the distribution. >Fix: Add a sentence to the section that tells the user to also change the option before executing. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
