Can you describe the problem in more detail? What operating system
you are using? What you did that didn't work? It's hard to tell
what's gone wrong from what you've described. For example, if you
follow step 3
> 3-copy wstata.exe to wstata.old
then of course "wstata.old" exists because you just created it. Or
are you unable to copy it in the first place?
