Error Starting Zotero 2.0rc5

wildeny
After upgrading to 2.0rc5, the part of checking the database didn't complete so the Firefox didn't restart. I manually start Firefox, and found this yellow warning mark over Zotero.

What should I do? Going back to 2.0rc4?

    No. Reinstall Zotero 2.0rc5 (or delete compreg.dat and xpti.dat from your Firefox profile directory), and let the upgrade complete.

    Thanks for the quick reply. The problem is solved now, but it's a little bit strange.

    Before I posted this question, I searched for the similar one in the forum. I found that removing compreg.dat and xpti.dat from Firefox profile and then restarting Firefox would solve. I did that, but the error was still there. Then I posted the question. When I started to do something else (clicking at "Show Desktop"), I found the Zotero window saying the database check is complete. Clicking OK brought up a new Firefox window without error mark (the previous Firefox window still showed the error mark).

    I didn't reinstall 2.0rc5. Maybe I just have to wait longer?

    Dan, the fixed described worked for me as well, thanks!
