On my updated 64-bit Windows 7 HP machine, I am having problems updating
Mozilla's SeaMonkey v2.0.5 to v2.0.6. After coming in, I launched
SeaMonkey, told it to manually check for updates, downloaded the small
updates, told it to restart right away, and then an error from its
Software Update Failed -- "The update could not be installed. Please
make sure there are no other copies of SeaMonkey running on your
computer, and then restart SeaMonkey to try again."

I never had this problem with previous updates. I tried running
seamonkey.exe as administrator. I looked for seamonkey.exe left overs
after exiting it, etc. What else did I miss? Do I need to reboot? Full
install? Maybe I found a bug? Are there any logs?

Thank you in advance. :)

Maybe a bug? I just booted a Win7 (64bit Home Advanced) and updated w/o
issue. Maybe it's your AV that's preventing the update :-) ?

Nope, it was a stuck crashreporter.exe. :) I did disable the AV, but that didn't help. :( I do get crashes from SM once in a while. Somehow, its crashreporter.exe got stuck forever and prevented updater to complete/finish. See my other reply for the full details.
