User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1

I had TB 1.0 installed. Was logged in as normal user (no admin rights). Tried to
install TB 1.0.2 using "run as" computer administrator. After install seemd to
be complete I was unable to run TB 1.0.2 as a normal user.

When I logged on to windows as administrator after the procedure above the
import/create account wizzard was shown. I canceled it, logged out and then
logged on again as user and was able to run TB 1.0.2

Reproducible: Always

Just installed 1.0.7 the same way and it worked. Resolution could be set to
invalid I guess
