Hi,

Found your blog via a Google search.

I’m running Safari 4 in Windows, and I’m wondering if there’s any way to tell that the Webkit nightlies are indeed running correctly. I don’t get the gold-rimmed Safari icon, nor does Help -> About show anything.

Also regarding your post: the cmd file actually copies the WebKit build to %temp%\WebKitNightly, not your Safari folder. I ran the nightly from a user account that has no write access to the Safari folder, with no problems.

Cheers.

Hey Jose,

You can just double click the run-nightly-webkit.cmd file after you have unzipped Webkit. This should also launch Safari easily.

Sweet! This would be good information for the Webkit folks to have on their website. That would be too easy, I guess.

I just fired up WebKit and it seems to run pretty quick so far!

Thanks for sharing!
