Update to my post yesterday ...
After i noticed the updater did not work (write permission problem), i downloaded the manual version , and installed it without a hitch.
Today , i tried the updater again , and

it works now!!!
Can it be that the updater gives a false error if the UI/ProfitUI folder does not exist?
Anyway, i am very happy with the updater, now that it's working.
Note that it might also be possible that due to the many attempts to get it to work yesterday , i may have fixed the problem myself, but the fix was not apparent without doing a physical boot , which i did this morning.
