It *is* the same update script as the content browser. In an effort to reproduce the error, I tried installing/uninstalling under every possible situation I could think of.

I didn't have any trouble, except when the battery level was below 25%. The update itself worked but the DR got stuck booting, but booted fine when I connected it to the external battery pack/wall charger/computer. Interestingly, it also booted fine without the SD card inserted, but this wasn't very repeatable and probably not directly related.

If the above problem was not due to low battery, perhaps it really is a specific hardware issue. In any case, I'm removing the warning from the first post so others can download it, I don't think the problems are directly related to the update. Someone correct me if they feel otherwise.

Thanks I actually did encounter similar "cannot open" errors, although it had nothing to do with my update. The errors either fix themselves, or can be fixed by deleting the metadata.db file in the troublesome folder (or target folder, in the case of a troublesome shortcut).

EDIT: I've put up version 0.2 with a few updates. Check out the original post, and be sure to run the uninstallation script for 0.1 before upgrading.
