Ah! I think that will do the trick! I suspect that's the reason why the 
1.11 version will not run as it is installed in the wrong directory. The 
running version is still 1.1.9
As it's now 2:02 AM I will go to sleep and solve hopefully the problem

Thanks again for the help.
I'll try tomorrow and will post the results.
