Was 19.2 removed? Only seeing 19.1 now.
I agree with Chris2812.
Where is 19.2 gone?
May i ask if there is any info you can provide, David-Engel ?
We have already onboarded the driver.
Thanks a lot.

It was pulled due to an installer issue that we were having trouble fixing in the next release without requiring manual user intervention and we wanted to limit the damage it might cause. (On x64, the installer incorrectly places the x64 library we use for AD authentication methods in the location for the x86 version of that library. This results in a DLL load error in x86 apps running on x64 that use AD authentication.) However, we now have a solution and the next release, 19.3, can automatically fix a 19.2 install. I'm verifying that we can re-post 19.2 with a known issue note. It also helps that 19.3 is very close to release.
