I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "the safari engine". Maybe you mean WebKit? Running a nightly build does not modify your installed version of Safari at all. (Your installed version of Safari is probably in C:\Program Files\Safari.) When you run a nightly build, the script launches your installed version of Safari in a way that makes it use the version of WebKit that was included in the nightly build, rather than the version of WebKit that came with Safari. > If I put a shortcut on the desktop is that going to do the same thing as > running the cmd file & auto extracting it. Yes, double-clicking a shortcut to the .cmd file will do the same thing as double-clicking the .cmd file itself. -Adam > > From: Adam Roben <[email protected]> > To: Bazzer Francis <[email protected]> > Cc: [email protected] > Sent: Thu, 12 November, 2009 7:24:32 AM > Subject: Re: [webkit-help] Safari For Windows > > On Nov 11, 2009, at 3:22 PM, Bazzer Francis wrote: > >> I guess that is why I see 0% copying when i run the cmd file. >> How do i go about setting thing up so i can install the nightly builds,I >> have in the past run nightly updates when I was using firefox without too >> much problem just a little unstable at times,is it the same with >> Webkit...Brian > > You can't "install" a WebKit nightly build the way you can with a Firefox > nightly build.
