I am running the nightly build of 8/18. I see the update suggestion in the bottom right corner and when I try to update - I see a prompt for Firefox 1.0 (yeah!). But the subsequent screen that says "Installing Updates..." hangs - i left it on for a long time and still doesn't do anything.

I had selected all the options that were given for components.

The same thing happens on Win2k as well as WinXP Pro

thanks,

Nagu

I have the same problem with nightly build 9/9 on Windows 98.
It doesn't matter what I select.

Firefox 1.0 wasn't released :-) That prompt was triggered by a test file on the
update server being used for smartupdate testing. In Firefox 1.0PR it should
work as expected as the update server is now broadcasting the correct
information. The hang was caused by the update server not being ready to serve
clients for the smartupdate services properly.
