Thanks, I should have read the docs more carefully

Well, I was able to test preserving the application name, and was  
getting ready to test preserving a custom icon, but now every time I

Update Error!
An Update is Already in Progress.

I've logged out, rebooted, same message.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.
