wallet.dat @p{par}

wallet.dat.rewrite SHOULD be automatically removed as part of the upgrade-to-0.5 process; I don't know why it isn't in some cases@p{--} and, frankly, I would much rather spend time getting really, truly secure wallet solutions working. @p{par}

RE: bitcoin version 0.4 starting up on your machine: @p{par}

You should run the old bitcoin, un-check the "start on windows system startup", then exit. @p{brk}
Then remove it using the Add/Remove Programs control panel doo-hickey (did that move again in Vista?).  You should see both "bitcoin" (the old 0.4) and "bitcoin-qt" (the new 0.5). @p{par}

... all of which is, I know, annoying and painful.  Again, frankly, I'm more interested in spending time on the very-highest-priority issues rather than making every beta release upgrade completely smooth in all cases. @p{brk}
