Thanks Dennis,
I might give that a try, but the instructions from the "Avid Editor Patch Installer Instructions" PDF which is part of the 5.5.3 download link states:
"On a Windows® system, if you have already installed a patch on your system, you must first uninstall the previous patch before installing a new patch."
I'll likely just download the full 5.5.3 installer and start fresh.
