Well I tried again to install Indigo 7 and again had a disastrous result. I also did a complete backup before the installation.
First off I ran the installation package. Even though it created the Indigo 7 App in the Applications folder, the installation failed with the following error...
The Installation failed.
The installation encountered an error that
caused the installation to fail. Contact the
Software Manufacturer for assistance.
When I ran Indigo 7 for the first time, it asked me to setup the Z-Stick, and to supply the IP address for the Vera Bridge Plugin, which I did. Then when it started, all of the Z-wave devices did not show up on the Device List, None of the Vera Devices showed up, the CM15A X10 USB interface was not found (but it did try to substitute a CM11 Serial X10 Device which did not work), and none of the Triggers, Schedules, or Control Pages were copied through! This is exactly what happened before, but I did not remember the first problem with installation (nor do I know why installation failed!).
The Event Log at startup of Indigo 7 was as follows...

So this time I stopped the Indigo 7 Server (as instructed), ran Indigo 6, and all of the devices and schedules were found and reattached... basically it is working like it is supposed to do without any changes to the connected devices.
What did I do wrong? Why did the installation fail again? None of the other Indigo Upgrades had this problem.
