I'm no doubt guilty as charged. Given the couple other replies noting
similar experiences to mine, and human nature in general, perhaps the
failure mode can be improved by having MB_STOP msgbox pop up to say
there was an error? I postulate that when the vast majority of people
clicking through an installer see the final page with a "Finish" button
they immediately click it without reading anything whatsoever.

Should it not trigger a roll back if an error occurs?

This morning I tried going from 1.3.0.5129 to 1.3.0.5165 and the install
failed as I described in "1.3 -> 1.3" in my original mail. Do you
expect this to work or should I try updating 5165 with the next nightly?

To clarify what my expectation should be:
The latest 1.3 nightlies should:
1. automatically uninstall any old TortoiseSVN installation (1.2.x or
1.3.x)
2. install the new version
3. ask for reboot
Is this right? If so, if the current nightlies do not do this do you
want reports?
Thanks,
