Thanks, Kumar.   I tried 3x yesterday and it failed each time... today, after submitting my query it installed successfully.  The only glitch right now is that the application gui seems to be frozen in size... no way to expand the window in order to see all functions, and no way to minimize; it's "frozen" to what you see in the screen capture.

 

Thanks, SRscreen capturescreen capture
