Hi, I am a potential new user, currently considering options because I want to get rid of lexware and the only Copil^WWindows installation in our small company.

Logging into the [Tryton](https://demo7.8.tryton.org/#demo7.8) demo as user `demo`, the setup looks in pretty bad shape. After login, there is an empty “Check VIES” dialogue window, when clicking OK, a download starts for “Labels.odt” and randomly clicking menu entries shows either erorrs, or lists with ‘#ERROR’ all over the place.

Does it make sense to expect the demo to work or has it been given up?

The demo is opened to everyone so it happens that some people are modified the setup such that it is painful to work with.  
Here someone has registered default actions to run on login as `demo` which does not make many sense.

Also it seems that someone has activated and deactivated some modules (but the deactivation is a beta feature that can break things).

The server is restored every night.
