After spending an eveningful of pseudo-troubleshooting the Commander installation, and a good part of this morning (admittedly before my morning coffee, thereby forgetting that any activity requiring a modicum of intelligence should NOT be attempted before such), in desperation, I decided to uninstall the model, using the installed uninstaller, which promptly crashed.
In a fart of brilliance, I downloaded and installed the uninstaller provided for in the "Support" board. I carefully saved the new uninstaller to the FSD folder, exactly in the location of, and replacing, the originally installed uninstaller.
"This is not a valid Windows 32 bit application" screamed the warning box!
Of course, I chastized myself, since the new unninstaller was probably set up for the complainant's VISTA setup, and not my own XP setup.
I resigned myself to attempting a reinstall of the model. Successful reinstall

And suddenly, there I am, flying over Friday Harbor in the VC of the Commmander, with all bits and pieces....
