I just ran the installer posted at the beginning of this thread - and selected "fresh install" on one of the initial screens. I will try extracting the individual installers and see if that works.
Ok, that seemed to work much better.
First thing I noticed when adding a user the text box still shows blank after authenticating. The authentication seemed to work fine though, and i am able to play radio...etc.
Thanks again! So glad to have it back!
