Mozilla Thunderbird Update Not Completing

Miscellaneous

Recently, I had an issue with Mozilla Thunderbird not being able to update. It would download the update, but not be able to install it saying it could not update some files. This would pretty much render Thunderbird useless because the update would try to run every time I started it and I would never be able to get into it.

The Fix - Stop Logitech QuickCam Software

Apparently, having a Logitech Webcam running can cause the updates to fail which is a freak compatibility issue I guess, but stopping QuickCam10.exe in my task manager sure enough allowed the update to run.

Just thought I would share this in case anyone else is Googling this issue without success.

Glad it helped you out Bob. This drove me nuts for a little bit so I'm happy posting it saved someone else the trouble I went through.

I'm really loving Thunderbird 2.0 though. Especially now that we have read-write Google Calendar support.

Mike.
