I have reviewed the file nothing obvious pops out. It contains a bunch
of lines beginning with File: and one line beginning with DLLReg: I
assume that indicates new files that were installed and one .dll that
was registered.
I have been experimenting and I think I have discovered the problem. I
installed the update under my user account which is set to be able to
install programs. Running the update seems to have installed properly
with no error messages or warnings but upon restart the new software is
not there and I get an error.
I logged into the machine Administrator account and tried again. It
actually worked that time and I have 2.0.1 installed.
I may have something wrong in my user profile which prevents it from
installing. But I wonder if SeaMonkey checks for user permission before
attempting to install the update. Perhaps others can check this
behavior. For now I can simply install updates under the Administrator
account.
That leaves me with only one problem. Under my user, even though I have
2.0.1 working now SeaMonkey seems to think that it isn't installed. I
seem to recall there is a file or folder which triggers that and if
removed it will stop doing that. Perhaps someone can remind me what that is.

Perhaps something in C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey\install.log[1] will
offer a hint as to what happened. Open that file and see if you can see
anything obvious. Or, if you'd like to email it to me directly (drop the
.invalid) I can compare against the log on one of my WinXP systems that
has been updated from 2.0 to 2.01.
[1] install.log may be located in a different directory/folder if
depending upon where you've installed SeaMonkey.
Sorry; also C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey\uninstall\uninstall.log
