I downloaded and installed from from seamonkey-project.org: <https://download.mozilla.org/?product=seamonkey-2.46&os=win&lang=en-US> I left the internet connected as always, so no change there on my part. Steve suggested that there might be a file lock somewhere & google responses indicate that removing any 'update' files from the program files is a workaround. Given that it's a VM (virtual machine) I've left it in the 'need to reboot' state so that I can see if I can figure what the issue is. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
