User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051025 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: version 1.5 Beta 2 (20051006)

After following the instructions at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=336429
to allow updating to TB 1.5rc1, the update successfully downloads, but fails to install. Now every time I start TB, I get the "One or more files could not be updated..." dialog; TB remains at version 1.5b2.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the update using TB's "Check for Updates" feature
2. Restart TB as instructed
3. Profit!

Actual Results:  
Update fails to apply

Expected Results:  
1.5rc1 bliss

Here are some of the more interesting lines out of last-update.log.

updates\0\update.log (obsolete)

updates\0\update.log was caused by a tb instance that wouldn't die. Irrelevant to this bug.
