Removing the folders shouldn't have made a difference unless there were some type of permission issue...but I am glad you got it working!

Nope.  The only thing that you would have to take into account is if the next update is not pre-compiled for 8.1.  Other than that...nothing to worry about!

Lord!!!

I payed a dearly for removing the SF database. Seems all my project BO Mapper config data got wiped. 

Since I do not know what happened in the first place, I guess I am open to another knee capping when I attempt to install the next version?

Ooo you definitely don't want to ever remove the SF database.  You should have this backed up...right   You could just restore your SF database so you get your mappings, etc. back....then just open the DDT, select the StrataFrame package file in the Common Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame folder and deploy it to your server.
