My installation is still 5.3.3 from the evaluation kit. I haven't reinstalled 
or added any patches. Will I have to reinstall and if so, can I carry the 
settings across from my current (live) installation?

Hello, Angus -

If the file existence resulted from a wholly fresh install of 5.3,
and then boosting of the whole to 5.3.3, then the file should be
compatible with the current server.  What I suspect is that the
install was performed over the trial version, somehow causing the
original file to be left in place, and that PTF maintenance carried
no replacement for that file.  Whereas this is not a problem that
other 5.3 customers have reported, I have to believe that your
circumstances are unique by virtue of pre-existence of the trial
software.  (Indeed, it may be that module which stops usage at the
end of the trial period. :-)  You may be able to physically extract
that module from the installation CD, or some kind 5.3.3 Windows
customer may send you a copy, or you may have to reinstall (this time
wiping out executables from the server directory).
