ricky,
The Assistant was installed under a clean install.
It ran fine with the exception of shutdown ( it took a long time )
everything was normal and I needed to upgrade my anti-virus on the comp in question as to match versions that were auto updates on other comps,
why parts of the Assistant were sharing or connected to my anti-virus Remains a mystery,, SO, I had more than just .NET install problems, my anti-virus was not installing the updated versions as well.
And the newer Installer did not help either.
I have accused The Assistant of things before and their was always an excuse but this time the 'problem' affected more than my computers as Freddie and Art have confirmed, so it is a non-local effect in quantum terms

Still don't know what to do with Berkly problems, I will keep trying to resolve but it seems I am on my own in many ways, I may have to seek professional help with my computers (even though I am a PRO)
Time is hard to reverse but the wrong can be made right ,,,with the right amount of compensation!
regards,
J.
