Please read the whole thread. I already explained the issue at http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=19914.msg142194#msg142194
Besides, issue reports don't help at all if not stated in which version the issue appears.

No. There is absolutely no point in that -- fixing bugs isn't done by rolling back changes (or improvements, like in that case -- the only annoying thing is that a bug came in).
Nevertheless, I managed to identify the issue. It's caused by Windows inability to open a device multiple times (or linux capability of doing that -- as linux is my main development OS it seems I overlooked testing exactly this combination with windows).
Maybe someone shouldn't make releases just before leaving for christmas ...
Edit: for the record, this was also reported as http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/9729 (unfortunately with much less information than in this thread).

Hello. I have received today my Sansa E260 and was ready to install RockBox when I faced the same problem other reported. I would like to know if it's going to be a fix and when?
Thank you

Had the same problem on my e280. in xp it did not detect the player. So i tried the manual way and just copied the main file to the player. When I tried to install the boot file I got the same problem as with automatic installation. So then I simply just switched to mandriva(linux) and followed the manual and then after some lines in the terminal(very simple, just follow the guide in the manual) it found and installed the bootloader.. so untill there will be an update, use linux to install..

I am having the same issue with my e250. Installer version 1.0.9, latest firmware from Sansa, WinXP SP4
I'm confused, was this supposed to be fixed in 1.0.9 or do we need the next update?

The posts above clearly state that the problem exists in Rockbox Utility 1.0.9 (and 1.0.8, but that's not stated above).

The issue is already fixed in svn but no new release has been made since (mostly due to RL issues). Besides, we do not estimate any timeframes, and given the fact that developers also have a real life I'm quite annoyed reading questions about dates. Additionally, all questions you asked are already answered on the Rockbox Utility wiki page
Until a new release is made you can either build yourself from svn, use sansapatcher instead for installing the bootloader (it does only affect the bootloader) or use the older Rockbox Utility 1.0.7 for installing the bootloader. To install Rockbox 3.1 Rockbox Utility 1.0.9 is needed (again, not for the bootloader).
