Delete 0.95 cookies when deploying 0.96 Dottext
The data stored in the Dottext cookie under 0.95 fails to parse under the current version of 0.96 (today’s source).
The symptom is a “The root element is missing” XML parsing error immediately on all pages.
The work-around is to delete the cookie. You can either use ToolsàInternet OptionsàDelete Cookies which will delete all your cookies, or ToolsàInternet OptionsàSettingsàView Files; the sort by Address and find the dottext cookie associated with your deployment web site and delete it.
