New BPS Pro install deletes existing root .htaccess file

[AITpro Admin]

Edit|Update: This workaround solution did work to force the Apache Modules checking/testing htaccess file to return the desired option value setting for this BPS option: bps_apache_mod_ifmodule = Yes. A permanent solution will be created in BPS Pro 15.1 for this particular server issue.

Now that I understand the problem.  Try this workaround solution below to get things working for now until I can add the new Setup Wizard Option setting in the next BPS Pro version release.

Edit this Apache Modules testing .htaccess file here > /bulletproof-security/admin/mod-test/.htaccess.  Copy the modified .htaccess code below into the /bulletproof-security/admin/mod-test/.htaccess file and overwrite ALL the .htaccess code in that file. Then run the BPS Pro Pre-Installation Wizard and Setup Wizard again. Let me know what happens.
