Before you pay anyone anything...

I just installed a virgin dev 4.5.4 goldplus.
Set it up with default products.
Provisioned xp to it using the "lite interface".
Big old fail. Identical fail as on my production store.
I have video and very detailed logs fo the defects.
X-cart asked me to send them video and links to my dev stores.
Hopefully they will find solutions.

PS -- anyone can install a dev store fresh in a dev partition. If you want to prove a product defect, it's the only way.
