Reinstalling over the previous installtion did not work.

Uninstalling first and then reinstalling did work.

I deleted the config file during uninstallation.

Running the new minion stalled while it it was looking for addons.

Had to quit it, and restart it for it to finish detecting my addons, then it seems to work fine.

Updated the Minion troubleshooting guide, see Point 2 to fix the "Unable to connect to the internet" error:
