Details

I've been trying to use the November builds (1107, 1108, 1109 at least) but when
I run the the mozilla-win32-installer-sea the installation fails. It seems to
install the browser but then it fails trying to install the Profile Manager. I
got the same problem on a Windows ME machine. I can install the October builds fine.

i didn't see this problem reported recently. thanks.
I have seen this too under WinNT
not installer, but rather a profile mananger problem.

What do you mean by "install the Profile Manager?"

Can you explain more thoroughly what happens?
1. go to ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-trun
2. select   mozilla-win32-installer.exe
3. dowload it
4. start the installation process
5. after all *.xpi's are downloaded the installation itself's starts
6. the browser component gets installed
7. when it displays installing Profile Manager you get visited by Dr. Watson
I forgot to mention, this is not the first nightly I installed, so it overwrites
a previous existing installation.
Comment #4 is same as happens for me. I've tried to uninstall all the previous
installation and then install as well as install over an existing install and I
also get the Dr Watson visit
