Problems installing SeaMonkey

Post by wombat1000 »

I tried installing SeaMonkey 2.49.1, from 2.48, and started having problems immediatly. I only get a message that says "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of SeaMonkey. Do you want to reboot now?". I've tried rebooting at least 10 times, as well as disabling the anti-virus program (I even tried uninstalling it completely). How can I get past this so I can install SeaMonkey properly again?

See if you have leftover "crud", http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... #p14782453.
Maybe something in there is gumming things up?
Maybe rename \updates\ to \updates-haha\, then try the install again.
Fire 750, bring back 250.

Uninstall SeaMonkey.
Verify that it is completely gone from "Program Files" (including the SeaMonkey directory itself, rather then just being empty).

So I guess places like:
C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey
and/or
C:\Program Files (x86)\SeaMonkey

(Not really sure where it installs to?)
