Yes the shortcuts in the start menu were gone as if the app no longer
existed post-update.  Those "folders" in the start menu you mentioned WERE
GONE.  Really weird.

I managed to find a way to run IM enough to uninstall RDi and reinstall
it.  Fixed everything up OK.  My workspace was unaffected this whole time
so that saved me some time.
