Version 5.0C
Q: Why have there been several different "Post Dates" for the 5.0C Download on your website?
A: Earllier postings of the 5.0C Download had trouble detecting that Version 5 had been installed on some computers, so it would incorrectly report that Version 5 had not been detected. For post dates prior to 05.01.07, the content of the 5.0C downloads is the same; only the installation program has changed. Beginning with the 05.01.07 post date, the 5.0C download includes an update to the King James Version, in order to fix some concordance search problems. If you have already successfully installed an older Post Date of the 5.0C Download and you do not use the King James Version, you do not need to download a newer posting of 5.0C.
Version 5.0C corrects the following problems:
Issues in Version 5.0C:
A Concordance search for "God" in the King James Version gives very few results. The solution is to download a version 5.0C with a Post Date of 05.01.07 or later.

STATUS – not fixed in 5.0A, 5.0B
WORKAROUNDS– (1) click on any other Bible translation in the nav panel, to switch to that translation, then click on nav panel to return to the NIV (or whatever translation was showing the problem) (2) Change all Bibles to show one verse per paragraph: click on Options > Preferences > Advanced > 2.1 Compatibility – put a checkmark on “One verse per paragraph” – click Save. {E0070}
