It showed the normal selection box, bit it had no items in it.

When BIU starts I get the normal Boot selection screen, which is empty, and the 3 buttons at the bottom: boot, Maintenance, and Direct
I press maintenance and get the error stated above. Pressing boot or direct does nothing as there is nothing in the list.
I would like to get to the Maintenance mode so I could edit a new boot list !

Version 1.00 was only capable of being installed when my ssd was removed from the system and connected to a usb/sata adapter. (see previous posts)
Booting the 1.01 install disk allowed me to upgrade my now computer installed ssd. successfully. But now a new error above.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional information: Booting off the BIU(1.01) install pen drive, and going into its Maintenance mode, I was able to use the script option to copy the BOOTIT.dat file to all directories: root, efi, efi/boot .
I also ran the TBEXPLO.tbs script to look at all drives on my system. It showed that the bootit.dat file existed all the BUI partition directories.
So everything on the BIU install pen drive seems to be working fine.
rebooted to the BUI ssd hard drive.
same error. File not found.
