Even though I "saw" the install seem to state that it was saving/copying 
the profile, for my 3.4.6 to 3.5.4, it did not and all my extension were 
missing.  So it is not just Python Scripts that got lost in the 
upgrading, almost everything did.

This is surely a bug and would annoy a few of our users, and realy annoy 
our business users.
