ouch. As Rich said, you likely need a good backup. The RSU is pre-applied and pre-built so all of the SES/E disks for each component are touched with patches, control structures, and built objects. I was thinking of advising to remove the top level apply, and run VMFAPPLY and a VMFBLD .... ( ALL but alas I do not think it will give desirable results. David
