I agree ... If you have to retype all of the passwords then why even show that the system had some to begin with. It was the same on 7.6.03. If I wasn't paying really really close attention I could have really done some damage to my systems

That is going to bite someone, HARD. I opened a ticket, since that is a dangerous defect.

I am trying to upgrade an existing 7.6.03 install and the installer keeps trying to overwrite an existing ARSystem database, not upgrade it as is my intention. It finds it, validates it, tests credentials (SQL Server auth since this is on a 2008 R2 VM that isn't in a domain, using SQL Server 2008 on an adjacent VM), but then insists that it is going to overwrite it during installation. No way - that db already has all of the apps and sample data installed - it MUST be upgraded!!! It would appear that the 7.6.04 installer is just as fubar as the previous versions.

I installed it this morning, then uninstalled it, reinstalled it, uninstalled it again, deleted all associated files, folders, and registry entries, reinstalled it, restarted my computer, etc... ad nauseum. It seems to crash about 2 minutes and 30 seconds after opening. I haven't been able to keep it running for a straight 3 minutes-literally.
