Latest 64-bit Nightly will not install. Minefield was working fine!

I was regularly using Minefield on my 64-bit Windows 7 system. The updates installed fine. About the second update following the switch from Minefield to Nightly (roughly 04/25), the upgrade install completes but the program will not run. I just get a "Windows" window saying it won't run. I attempted to un-install, clean registry, reinstall, etc. Nothing works. I tried compatibility settings to no avail. Any suggestions. Windows (of course) hasn't found a solution.

There is a known problem with the latest 64 bit versions of the nightly builds. The 32 bit versions are working. One of the best places to keep track of issues with the nightly builds is the MozillaZine builds forum - http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=23

Thanks for the info. Its not critical that it works (that's why its a nightly build) but its good to know I'm not alone. I notice that newer builds are coming out so I'll just keep trying until one works. Thanks!
