I had fixed it the same day (one of the build scripts was inadvertently trying to do too many things at once), but the post got stuck in my mailer.

One issue (and did we not see a report from you about it?) is that the installer does not necessarily replace the copy of R.app in /Applications if it finds another one. (That has happened to me when the one I last used was a personal build.)  So I would remove all copies of R.app from your system and re-install 3.0.0.

I have now marked R.app as not relocatable which *should* make the Installer less zealous in finding the wrong R.app binary. This means that once you move R.app it won't be upgraded, but you can at least rely on the fact that /Applications/R.app will be the location of the R.app after you installed it.

Thanks,
Simon
