People should note that Beta 3 will not install on top of Beta 1 or Beta 2.

you have to uninstall Beta 1 or Beta 2, re-boot and revert to Explorer 6 before it will accept an install.

When I did this Explorer 6 had lost the connection settings and I had to re-set up the internet connection. Not a difficult job - but a bit of an irritation.

Beta 3 now working fine (so far anyway)
