I am using 0.9.8 release (2002020415/linux). Several XPIs I tried to install didnt work and since the symptoms are the same for all of them I suspect this to be mozilla problem. One of the XPIs that dont work is the Asturian language pack for 0.9.8 (see URL). The install.log file contains an error -239, whatever that might be for registerin (is there a list of error codes somewhere?) Another problem that maybe needs another bug is that *no indication* that something went wrong with the install was given to me! http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/l10n/lang/moz0.98/langastas.xpi -- 02/11/20 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** initInstall: platformNode=unix Paquete de Llingua Asturiana (ast-AS) ------------------------------------- ** initInstall: 0 ** fProgram: /home/johann/Install/mozilla/ ** addDirectory() returned: 0 [1/21] Installing: /home/johann/Install/mozilla/chrome/ast-AS.jar [2/21] Installing: /home/johann/Install/mozilla/chrome/ast-win.jar [3/21] Installing: /home/johann/Install/mozilla/chrome/ast-unix.jar [4/21] Installing: /home/johann/Install/mozilla/chrome/ast-mac.jar [5/21] Register Locale: jar:resource:/chrome/ast-AS.jar!/locale/ast-AS/ Install **FAILED** with error -239 Install **FAILED** with error -239 ** performInstall() returned: -239 Finished Installation 02/11/2002 08:04:36 Same problem with the uabar from mozdev: [6/6] Register Content: resource:/chrome/uabar/content/ Install **FAILED** with error -239 Install **FAILED** with error -239

dup of bug 109044?

The content-type for langastas.xpi is showing as "application/x-xpinstalli". I believe it should be "application/x-xpinstall". Could this be a reason? When I drag this xpi onto my browser from my desktop, I am able to install successfully. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/jimmylee/Desktop/langastas.xpi -- 05/21/2002 14:50:34 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** initInstall: platformNode=win Paquete de Llingua Asturiana (ast-AS) (version 0.9.8.2002020409) ------------------------------------- ** initInstall: 0 ** fProgram: C:\Program Files\Netscape\Netscape\ ** addDirectory() returned: 0 [1/22] Installing: C:\Program Files\Netscape\Netscape\chrome\ast-AS.jar [2/22] Installing: C:\Program Files\Netscape\Netscape\chrome\ast-win.jar [3/22] Installing: C:\Program Files\Netscape\Netscape\chrome\ast-unix.jar [4/22] Installing: C:\Program Files\Netscape\Netscape\chrome\ast-mac.jar [5/22] Register Locale: jar:resource:/chrome/ast-AS.jar!/locale/ast-AS/global/ [6/22] Register Locale: jar:resource:/chrome/ast-AS.jar!/locale/ast-AS/communicator/ [7/22] Register Locale: jar:resource:/chrome/ast-AS.jar!/locale/ast-AS/messenger/ [8/22] Register Locale: jar:resource:/chrome/ast-AS.jar!/locale/ast-AS/messenger-smime/ [9/22] Register Locale: jar:resource:/chrome/ast-AS.jar!/locale/ast-AS/editor/ [10/22] Register Locale: jar:resource:/chrome/ast-AS.jar!/locale/ast-AS/navigator/ [11/22] Register Locale: jar:resource:/chrome/ast-AS.jar!/locale/ast-AS/necko/ [12/22] Register Locale: jar:resource:/chrome/ast-AS.jar!/locale/ast-AS/mozldap/ [13/22] Register Locale: jar:resource:/chrome/ast-AS.jar!/locale/ast-AS/cookie/ [14/22] Register Locale: jar:resource:/chrome/ast-AS.jar!/locale/ast-AS/wallet/ [15/22] Register Locale: jar:resource:/chrome/ast-AS.jar!/locale/ast-AS/content-packs/ [16/22] Register Locale: jar:resource:/chrome/ast-AS.jar!/locale/ast-AS/help/ [17/22] Register Locale: jar:resource:/chrome/ast-AS.jar!/locale/ast-AS/pippki/ [18/22] Register Locale: jar:resource:/chrome/ast-AS.jar!/locale/ast-AS/pipnss/ [19/22] Register Locale: jar:resource:/chrome/ast-win.jar!/locale/ast-AS/global-platform/ [20/22] Register Locale: jar:resource:/chrome/ast-win.jar!/locale/ast-AS/communicator-platform/ [21/22] Register Locale: jar:resource:/chrome/ast-win.jar!/locale/ast-AS/navigator-platform/ [22/22] Register Locale: jar:resource:/chrome/ast-win.jar!/locale/ast-AS/messenger-mapi/ ** performInstall() returned: 0 Install completed successfully -- 05/21/2002 14:50:34

That must be a recent problem, Jimmy. The -239 issues are Linux-only, and only affect certain systems. It really is a dupe of bug 109044. The issue raised by Another problem that maybe needs another bug is that *no indication* that something went wrong with the install was given to me! has been fixed as part of other bugs.
