on which version of live 9 do you work?

9.1.1 or 9.1.2b5?

At 12:34am tonight I discovered that Ableton 8.3 has an autoupdate function. Great. I have been auto-updated to 8.3.1 against my will and now when I start ableton I get the following error:

"An error has occurred whilst opening the ReWire system. ReWire will not work properly".

I am putting this ...
