The upgrade I downloaded and installed yesterday was an archive 
<hostfsdec2008.zip> containing a single file <Dec2008.exe>. There are 
no release notes, caveats nor warnings included as far as I can see. I 
know that a previous release had these problems but assumed in the 
absence of such warnings (yes, I know...) that this new release would 
be OK. After installation and on the next start of VA a page of 
instructions opened explaining how to activate HostClock and this 
included the instruction to back up and then modify files in the 
<Models> directory which I carefully did in the expectation that 
reverting to the backed up files would overcome any problems 
introduced by the upgrade. Sadly not, reverting to the old Models 
doesn't fix the HostFS problem for the reasons you explain so it looks 
like a complete reinstall from the CD is the only way to go as it is 
impossible to locate the original Hostfs2.dll on it. Unless some kind 
soul would be interested in earning my everlasting gratitude... (The 
email address from which this is sent is valid)
