Build: 7/20/99 SeaMonkey build 1. From http://jimbob/trigger2.html, enter or use drop-down to trigger a_addmacpatch.jar to add text file for patching 2. Then trigger a_macpatch.jar NOTE: This test used to work. I don't know exactly which build it began to fail. RESULT: The file is added correctly. After triggering a_macpatch.jar, the "macpatch" directory ends up with two files, smrtupdt-1.txt and smrtupdt.txt. The Install.log shows: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://jimbob/jars/a_addmacpatch.jar -- 07/21/1999 11:19:14 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Acceptance: a_addmacpatch Item [1/1] Installing: Webbies:moz720:macpatch:smrtupdt.txt Install completed successfully Finished Installation 07/21/1999 11:19:15 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://jimbob/jars/a_macpatch.jar -- 07/21/1999 11:20:01 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Acceptance: a_macpatch ** ERROR (-220): Patching: Webbies:moz720:macpatch:smrtupdt.txt Install script aborted Finished Installation 07/21/1999 11:20:01 EXPECTED RESULT: No error message in Install.log. Only one file remains in "macpatch" directory after patching is applied.

I'll try to take a look at this bug.

Jimmy, can you check if smrtupdt.txt is indeed patched correctly? If it is, then all we need to do is to clean up smrtupdt-1.txt (which is the extracted patch data file), then this is a dup of bug 10297 and I have a fix ready for it.

Build 8/16/99 There has been a change. The patching is now failing. Instead of "smrtupdt.txt", the result of patching is "smrtupdt_patch.txt.gdf". Yes, I compared the patch, and it is all that remains when patching is completed. There is no file by "smrtupdt-1.txt" that remains. The Install.log shows the following: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://jimbob/jars/a_addmacpatch.jar -- 08/17/1999 16:05:53 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Acceptance: a_addmacpatch Item [1/1]Installing: Webbies:moz816:mozilla-mac-M9:macpatch:smrtupdt.txt Install completed successfully Finished Installation 08/17/1999 16:05:56 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://jimbob/jars/a_macpatch.jar -- 08/17/1999 16:07:32 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Acceptance: a_macpatch Item [1/1]Patching: Webbies:moz816:mozilla-mac-M9:macpatch:smrtupdt.txt Install **FAILED** with error 6 Install **FAILED** with error 6 Finished Installation 08/17/1999 16:07:34

Jimmy, I can't seem to reproduce this problem on Don's Mac, so I'm marking this as WORKSFORME. Since you're seeing the file gets deleted, it may be due to the bug where we fail to update registry file at the finalize stage (due to currupted registry file). Please try to see if you can still reproduce the problem first, and then rename your old registry and created a new file from 4.6, and try to see if the problem should go away. Dan also checked in fix where if we do get registry update err at the end of patching process, we will ignore the err and continue, and thus won't cause the file gets deleted afterwards. see bug 12242

Build 9/7/99 Patching a text file works. My netscape registry may have been corrupted since I did create a new one to verify.
