Firefox won't start after update

by prasadp77 Oct 6, 2006 3:21PM PDT

Hello All,

I was using Firefox 1.5.0.3 (not too sure but certainly not 0.7)
I wanted to give a try with RC2 but I mistakenly downloaded 0.7 and installed and it gave me the following error
"The program must close to allow a previous installation attempt to complete. Please restart"
Even if I say OK, restart the machine, unstalling and reintstalling, the error remains.

Now I downloaded RC2 installer and tried to install that but the error persists.

Any idea how to get around with this one?

Thanks

Deleting Mozilla Firefox folder, restarting the machine and then installing worked.

Thanks
