I've seen a similar problem with CF 5. The root of the problem, if I
understand correctly, is that there's an "undocumented" registry key that
was created when you install CF 5, and you can't simply uninstall it and
reinstall it unless you put a serial number in when you installed it the
first time. Unfortunately, I don't know what that registry key is. However,
the installation tech support personnel do know what it is, and will
probably tell you if you call them.
