Thanks Karl.

Well done everyone involved.

Is there any guidance for Windows users who had previously installed the x86 
edition of version 4.1.0 but would like to install the x64 edition as the 
update to version 4.2.1 ?

Will running the install work smoothly in this situation or should I first 
manually uninstall the x86 edition?

Best regards,

David H
