Thanks, Roman and Michael for Your suggestions.

It turned out, that only a re-installation of 10.0.0.388 solved the issue.
- The installer does not know about a "repair installation"
- Installing the patch with admin rights didn't the trick

After the patch there was not subdirectory with previous files (as known from FM-9), Hence 
it is not clear, which files had been replaced...

What me really annoys with the newer FM installations is this: You can not define a custom 
destiniation directory. In this case the program ended up in 
H:\Adobe\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker10 (to much of Adobe). I had to move it into a more senseful 
area with Application Mover (Funduc.com)
