What on earth is going on with HLS in the standard/lite versions? It would appear that deleting features from the product is now considered maintaining software. The release notes mention the removal of multiple components but does not offer an explanation why they felt it was necessary. I was pretty sure most of components removed were pretty old and crusty - HLS in 19.x was using gcc 4.x which is very old. 20.x HLS (Pro) uses gcc 9.x. It's a shame it seems to be at the bit rot phase of its life.

Anyhow, in the very least, I think you ought to be able to use 19.x if you use the installer found under additional software. Just make sure to set the correct install folder.
