Run the Update to Connect 1.6. This will assume the local MySQL database needs to
be updated and configured, so the user has to enter a root password on the MySQL

After the update, the Connect 1.6 Setup needs to be run once more to modify Connect.

On the Product Selection page, now the MySQL product can be unselected.

external MySQL was configured as database), then the Update to 1.6 will allow to select either
external MySQL or external Microsoft SQL on the DB Configuration Page.
