Lee FWIW, I had a similar experience to David Ross: with Win XP Home Edition SP3 using SeaMonkey 1.1.18, I did what I've always done with upgrades, I uninstalled SM but did NOT touch my profile. On installing SM 2.0, it didn't pick up my profile, nor did the installation prompt me to go look for anything. Could the problem here be that you un-installed SM 1.1.18 so there was no mention of SM in the Registry, so when you installed SM 2.0, it didn't go looking for a profile because the registry was suggesting that SM had not been on the machine before!! Maybe! Daniel It opened normally as the final step to installation but set up its own default profile. When I closed it, and tried to re-open, I experienced the same already running error as reported by David R. So I uninstalled SM 2.0 -- then re-installed 1.1.18 -- made sure it was running normally with mail/bookmarks/dictionary blah blah -- then contrary to my usual practice, I installed 2.0 in overlay. The installation process included the prompt/s for importing profile details... and it's running like a dream. Thanks. Mebbe some of us are being too cautious! ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I'd hate to have to switch to FF and TB since I've used the suite since Navigator 4 but this just isn't working for me. Oh, the only parent.lock file I found anywhere was in my old SeaMonkey profile, none in the SM 2 directories at all. I deleted it as suggested, but no effect. I had 1.1.18 installed and running fine. I downloaded 2.0 (just a little while ago), installed it (no problems), then, like David it asked if I wanted to run. I said yes and nothing happened. I also double-clicked the SM icon in the SM folder: nothing. I can confirm this issue after having used the *installer* in the alpha phase. It was caused by old stuff in my profile. In the past I used to copy the SM2.0 alpha version straight to disk, over an existing installation (I can't recall which version that was originally, but likely a 2.0 alpha also), while having a converted profile from 1.1.18. No problem. But once, I tried to use the installer, and after that the binary would just not start. I solved it by clearing out the entire program directory, doing a fresh install, and some tinkering in my profile folder, but I don't recall it exactly. I believe I had it recreate my prefs.js after renaming the old file. This might also have involved recreating the mail accounts. Niek On Mac side of the equation. Downloaded and installed the 2.0 Final application. I then removed (but saved) the old migrated profile from 1.1.8 that I had created when I installed the alpha and beta version. To force it to re import. Got finished importing set preferences. Shutdown. then imported Quote Colors and SkyPilot Class theme. installed fine, restarted It download a bunch of new mails, read one or two. Had to switch away from SeaMonkey. when I aimed to go back noticed it was not still running. *no warning* Opened. Then Closed everything shut Application down. Finally there was a window from the Crash Reporter. Now I know why quit. You still haven't fixed from the day of Communicator the Crash Reporter.

You can access Mozdev much more quickly than you can Mozilla Add-Ons. I had 1.1.18 installed and running fine. I downloaded 2.0 (just a little while ago), installed it (no problems), then, like David it asked if I wanted to run. I said yes and nothing happened. I also double-clicked the SM icon in the SM folder: nothing. I have only one profile and I did not uninstall 1.1.18. I looked in the SeaMonkey folder and the seamonkey.exe file had a date from September. I would have expected it to have an October date. I have reloaded 1.1.18 but am disappointed with the 2.0 problem. I'm running XP-SP3. Thanks for any help. Even if the files appear the same, have you tried copying them over fomr the old profile to the new, and restarting SeaMonkey anyway? It might work, it can't hurt.

Re: Cannot Launch SeaMonkey 2
Try right clicking on the executable and choose run as administrator [if you have that option]. Luck, James . .

I installed SM 2.0 tonight on my WinXP Professional SP2 system that already has 1.1.18 working fine. After install I was prompted to launch SeaMonkey but nothing happens. It will not launch - at all - from the desktop icon or directly from the .exe file. No sign of it in Task Manager processes either. Fortunately my 1.1.18 is untouched, so I'll probably use that for the foreseeable future. I'd hate to have to switch to FF and TB since I've used the suite since Navigator 4 but this just isn't working for me. Oh, the only parent.lock file I found anywhere was in my old SeaMonkey profile, none in the SM 2 directories at all. I deleted it as suggested, but no effect. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
