Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 757907

(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect)

Attachment: logs

* Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:15.0) Gecko/15.0 Firefox/15.0a1

* UAC enabled
* Background service enabled

1) Let Nightly download and stage update in background
2) From the about dialog, choose "Restart to Update"

Expected:
Nightly exits, then a few seconds later appears again updated.

Actual:
Nightly exits, few seconds later an OS alert with an 'update not successful' type message (sorry, will actually make a proper note of the message next time, if the logs don't already tell you what happened), then same version of Nightly starts up. Going to the about dialog shows a full update being downloaded again (not partial), which then sometimes updates successfully after choosing "Restart to Update" again.

This cycle has occurred 3-4 times in the last few days (with all the respins etc).

Logs attached.
