Build: 7/30/99 SeaMonkey build

Dan and I have talked already about the need to have error reporting from the
Install.log file.

RESULT:
When a trigger fails and is not a crash, the Install.log always shows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://jimbob/jars/whatever.jar     --     08/03/1999 12:03:08
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Finished Installation  08/03/1999 12:03:08

EXPECTED RESULT:
The "Finished Installation" message is misleading.  The triggered jar failed,
but it does not specify the cause of the failure.

We need to interpret the following types of errors:

1. Line noise
2. Triggering a file that is not a jar-type file
3. Triggering a jar file that has an install script missing
4. Server error (ie url to nothing)

I'm not sure why this is assigned to me.  This probably belongs to Dan.  CC'ing
Dan to see what he thinks.

This one is detail for 9604. Prossibly should be assigned to me, but really
could be done by anyone once 9604/8138 is hooked up.

reassign to Dan, per today's bug meeting.

The basic bug is fixed, but I'll leave open as a reminder to try to turn some
of the numeric status reports into numbers. e.g. "Download Error" would be
better than -229.

Robert: is this needed/understood? Or simply expired?

This is for the xpinstall installer which we no longer use so it isn't needed afaic
