Split account PC's are like UNIX machines; a super user has install (admin) privs, and regular ("owner" in XP Home) does not have admin privs. When the owner starts up mozilla, it tries to finish the upgrade, but can't due to privilege problem. This is normal. Normally, the superuser can finish the upgrade for all the accounts, by starting & running mozilla once. This is not working in 2.0.0.3. Even removal and re-install of 2.0.0.3 by superuser does not make it possible for owner to run mozilla without complaints about not being able to finish install. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
