Hi ABK, your response seems to be in line with my second alternative to get the latest 1.4.8 version of Desktop and whatever version of database comes with that (doesn't seem like there is a way to know what version comes along as default). Then download the latest apoc version and try out.
I have not found a way to find an older Desktop version that came with database 4.2.5 as default.
Thanks, I will try out.
