Hmmmm... that's pretty weird. The rollback was already covered via e-mail, but anyone else reading, it's:

1. Hopefully you let the installer do a backup. If so, there's a date/version stamped directory for each backup, and it just holds the contents of the CQC directory (minus the SaveInst directory.)
2. If not, and you only ran the installer once, then it moves the previous contents of the CQC directory down to CQC\SaveInst.
3. In either of the above cases, stop CQC, make sure all CQC processes (services, tray apps, GUI apps, etc.. are stopped) and copy the saved contents back to the CQC directory, overwriting what's there. Or, even more save, move the CQC directory somewhere, create a new one, then copy the saved contents back there. Make sure you get it in the right place. There should be a Bin and CQCData directory under CQC.
4. Run the installer for the version you went back to, just to be safe.

If you have multiple systems, you have to have upgraded them all, or bad things can happen. And, you need to upgrade them according to the safe upgrade scheme described in the release notes. Otherwise, you can have old code trying to talk to new code, or even worse downloading new code to run, and it can make a mess of things. You should stop cqc everywhere, upgrade the MS. Give it a quick check to make sure it looks ok. Then upgrade the other machines.
