Hi all, I've been using Safari for a few months now and wanted to try the WebKit nightly builds. I'm using the latest Safari 3.1.2 and the latest nightly WebKit-SVN-r34603.

I've followed the instructions from webkit.org: extracting the ZIP file and running run-nightly-webkit.cmd, but all I get is a console window telling me it cannot find the file specified, and asks wether the target is a file or a directory. I choose directory and it copies some files to a temp folder and then opens a Safari window, which crashes instantly.

If i keep trying this, the console window says it cannot find the files and "0 files moved", and again Safari crashes. I've tried deleting the WebKit files from the Temp folder and tried earlier WebKit builds but the same thing happens. If I run Safari from any shortcut it still works fine.

Am I doing something wrong? or missing something?

Thanks for your help.

Actually, I just created a Webkit folder in my Program Files folder, copied the entire contents into there, and ran the CMD file from there and it worked. I'm not sure what the problem is with yours :/

I tried what you did, but I still get a crash when Safari opens. It doesn't crash if there's another Safari window open already, but the new one isn't running on the new webkit build, as both windows get a 75 on acid3.

EDIT: I'm gonna do a clean reinstall of Safari and try again, does it matter if I don't install bonjour?

After a reinstall (I deleted all Safari folders prior to reinstallation) and setting it up again without problems, I tried the webkit cmd again and got the same error. No matter where I place the ZIP contents and run it from there, I get the same messages described in the first post and the resulting Safari window crashes instantly.

I did notice that the directory created by the cmd file includes a copy of safari.exe and the Safari.resources folder, but not webkit.dll or the webkit.resources folder.

    • I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're looking at a company struggling here. If AI would actually be working out so well for them that they can do massive layoffs, surely this would've been reflected the past year in their stock value?
    • AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
