Nope. On your suggestion I deleted the .dat files that got littered into my home directory. (BattleFront take note: these should go in ~/Library/Application Data) and re-installed. Ran the Update app (which has a version number of 0.1) and ran the Update. Still crashes at app quit. Here's the stack trace:

Can you please email me the file called Update.log which is getting generated in the DropTeam directory after running Update?

BattleFront take note: these should go in ~/Library/Application Data

They do as of the 1.1.0 release of the retail version.

In spite of that crash when the updater is quitting, the update has probably already completed successfully. Since you're running the demo, there is probably nothing new to download. You should have started on version 0.9.94 and after update still be on version 0.9.94.
