Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:20 gk]:
 > Okay, I got past the cert error just to hit the
 `UPDATE_SETTINGS_FILE_CHANNEL` one. Might be due to my testing setup, hard
 to say from here. What I did was copying the release certs over so that
 they can be used for nightlies as well and then I just did a `make
 nightly-windows-x86_64`.

 I cannot think of a reason why what you did would lead to a failure. The
 `UPDATE_SETTINGS_FILE_CHANNEL` error is generated when the updater cannot
 read and/or parse the file `Browser\update-settings.ini`. The contents of
 that file should look similar on all platforms and for all "flavors" of
 our builds... something like:
 {{{
 [Settings]
 ACCEPTED_MAR_CHANNEL_IDS=torbrowser-torproject-release
 }}}

 Unfortunately, Kathy and I are traveling at the moment and cannot do any
 testing. I will try to do some late tonight or tomorrow.
