Hi Simon, I removed the previous version 8.4.1 and simply tried many times to install from scratch so there is no backup file.

I did indeed try to edit the config file manually (whilst on 8.4.1) because for some reason minim watch is not working at all (grey area but no button at all, not even "options") - I have noticed in your release notes that this is "no go" but I dont understand why it is still a problem as the 8.4.5. was installed from scratch.

I tried to relaunch via mscript (whilst on the QNAP linux instance) but got a message "local host 9790" being invalid. I attach the current config and the config file as it was before i tried to upgrade. The "contentious" edit was trying to add (but is not part of the below back up) before deleting the 8.4.1. version was about the "Tag update" option.

current config file (you see why i call it "truncated"):
---------------------
minimserver.contentDir = /share/Multimedia
.logFile = /share/Public/minimserver.log
