O$:403 ODB:141 on Mac - Win Clients problem

[Mike Matthews]

I have thought the same.  In older versions of OSX, I used to run an Uninstaller package app, that used to remove all of the parts that were installed originally.  It doesn't work for later versions of OSX, so I have trusted the installer to overwrite, but not 100% certain.
