Me neither. :-((

I have never seen that selector window, indeed did not see it when I used
installed fixpack nine to Warp 4, but using the same utilities (QF11.ZIP and
CS_141.exe) I get the above mentioned error while trying to install fixpack 38 
(XRUW038) on a Warp 3 Connect Red box system.

Does anyone know why???

Go well,
