Garry,
Did you have a previous older version of Microstudio on that laptop? If so you have picked up a known problem from that. It has a leftover registry entry that is causing this.
The only way to eliminate this problem is to uninstall all of the MTU software, do a search of the registry (regedit) and delete anything associated with MTU. Check each major heading (local machine, current user, etc.) in the software directory for Micro Technology Unlimited folder and delete those. Then re-install your software. That should prevent it from happening again.
Are you saying you don't save a copy of the installation programs? If so that one you'll need to address to support with a ticket from the Support Center. As to Microstudio 4.001 I would guess the they will be sending the emails out within the next couple of days. Admin just changed the website last night.
