They didn't pan out though. FYI - another person on the team (at another location) tried to do an install using the same image I have and got the same results. This was in his test environment, completely different from the one I have. So, we seem to have stumbled into a new problem. The install image we are using is dated April 4. He checked and it seems to be the latest one available.
