Upgrading to 10.0.1

[Howard Brazee]

I often have trouble with upgrading Opera on my Windows machine, but
yesterday I had problems on my Mac. With Windows, I end up
downloading the upgrade with Firefox and running it from there.

Yesterday I tried several times to upgrade to 10.0.1 on my Mac. Each
time it downloads something, closes Opera, re-opens Opera, and tells
me "A new version of Opera was downloaded, but the update was not
applied.".

I looked for a file updated today in the finder but found nothing that
looked like an Opera installation program.

I don't give myself administrator privileges on the Mac, so normal
upgrades ask for my administrator name and password. I didn't get
any such window when I tried this upgrade.

I had the same. You will probably find that Opera.app is owned by your
admin user.

I simply logged on to my admin user to install the update. For some
unknown reason that also produced the message "A new version of Opera
was downloaded, but the update was not applied.", but on checking in
"About Opera" it claims it has taken.

Does anyone know where the update downloads are stored?
