Just another note of warning. The version 4290 server is available now as a
zip but the installer is 4306. There was an installer version 4290 up for a
very short time but there was a bug in it. So if you did grab the 4290
installer, please get the 4306 installer and ditch that 4290. If you are
using the zip manual install of the 4290 then it's OK.
It might be confusing but please make sure that all RC version libs and
servers are removed from all systems
