Perhaps this may be of interest to you.

I upgraded but first I saved a copy of the Fritz 8008 engine for safe keeping in
case I liked the 8.0.0.8 engine better than 8.0.0.23, which by the way was the
case.

In any event, after the upgrade the 8008 engine became 80023. After using 80023
I found that I preferred 8008, so I placed 80023 elsewhere and put 8008 back
into my engine folder. Just for the fun of it at a later time, I tried the Query
upgrade and I was given the same message that you received, telling me that I
have the latest version.
It appears that it recognizes the interface as having been upgraded and does not
realize that the engine has not. Of course if it recognizes that the interface
needs the upgrade, it will also convert the 8008 engine to 80023.

Of course the upgrade can be installed again, since I saved the file.

Is it possible that you have done the upgrade in the past? If so, you can always
use the IUgrade again if you have it saved in your folder.  If you no longer
have it, you may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling the Fritz8 program.
