BESFX41 Setup Wizard license problem [ Edited ]

[FRD]

I've been having some of the same problems others have had trying to get my BESDF41 router to talk to the Internet through the Westell 6100 DSL modem Verizon provided.   I discovered a later version of the router firmware on the Linksys download site, which I downloaded and installed without a problem.  Then I discovered an updated version of the BESFX41 Setup Wizard and downloaded that also.  However, when I attempted to run it, it halted with an error message stating it could not find the license file, even though there was a copyright.txt file (which isn't a copyright file; it is in fact the license) in the same directory as the wizard executable.  I checked the original installation CD and I don't see any license file there either.   The old installation program had problems, and would like to use the new one if possible to configure the router. 

Does anyone know what the problem is?

I dont have an direct answer to your question but please allow me ask a question for academic purposes.

Have you considered not using the wizard and configuring the device from your browser?

That is ultimately what I successfully did.  I wanted to use the wizard because previous attempts to configure the router manually were unsuccessful, and I thought perhaps I was overlooking something the wizard would contain.  I've now concluded the problem all along was the old firmware.  Once I reflashed the firmware, I had no problems.  Still, the wizard should have worked; someone needs to take a look at that problem for those who feel they need the assistance of a wizard.
