No subdirectories are created in both cases. This appears to be correct. EXPECTED RESULT: Nested directories are created as described from the Windows Install.log.

I think we should support nested direcotry crate, but not a beta stopper... Sean?

agreed. Nested creation of directories should be implemented, but not beta1 critical.

This is nsFileSpec() specific. Reassigning to dougt.

Workaround: do something like: nsFileSpec a(inSpec.GetNativePathCString(), PR_TRUE); a.CreateDirectory(); *warning* this will not work on the mac.

will be fixed by 22047

nsILocalFile does.
