If you are interesting in running against the latest rendering engine for a particular platform (e.g. WebKit, Trident, Gecko, ...), probably best to either obtain an open source browser or find one that allows you to plug-n-play with the rendering engine.
open source but many others: http://www.dillo.org/ After you pull done the nightly building of the rendering engine, just kickoff a build of the browser. BTW, have you looked at LunaScape?

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.
