Hi Colin,

I don't think this qualifies as a genuine migration. I did a fresh install
of eCS 1.2, and before installing any additional applications, I installed
eCS 1.2 Media Refresh. Once it was installed, I deleted the Previous
Desktop and began installing applications.

So far it is working well.

Sandy
