OBIEE - NQSError 46036 in BI administration after patching BI Server

I had 2 cases in a week of customers complaining about getting Error when they open BI Administration Tool. The same error: [NQSError 46036] Internal Assertion: Condition m_pFile->Read(bytes, sizeof(data))==sizeof(data), file server\objectmodel\Src\SORpArchivePersistStream.cpp, line 381.

his Error means: You upgraded the Server Patch level and did not upgrade the Administration Client. In both cases customers installed the new 11.1.1.7.131017 patch, but had 11.1.1.7.0 Administration Clients.

The solution is to upgrade/reinstall the client from the patch. 
The 11.1.1.7 case: In patch of 11.1.1.7.131017 there is a zip file of p17463403_111170_Generic. In side it, under 17463403\files\clients\biserver\ you will find 2 client installations: biee_client_install_x64.exe and biee_client_install.exe

Use the relevant one to upgrade the clients. If you installed OBIEE on Windows server, the Administration on the server is upgraded automatically.
