Windows 2000 Installed browsers: Netscape 4.79, Netscape 6.22, Mozilla 1.0(Build 2002053012), Opera 6.0 Steps to Reproduce: 1- Download the Flash Player installer at http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash 2- Quit Mozilla 3- Run the installer and select all listed browsers 4- Open Mozilla and test the scriptability of Flash with the urls below: http://www.mozilla.org/quality/browser/front-end/testcases/plugins/flashtest.html http://poppy.macromedia.com/flashplayer/javascript/F4JavaScript/jstest.htm http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/java_script_comm/javascript_to_flash.html http://www.ford.de/ Expected results: successfully pass through all tests of item 4 Actuall results: none of the urls work correctly I know that it maybe has nothing to do with Mozilla, but I think that someone could post workarounds here and contact Macromedia if it is an installer problem.
How many browser entries do you have listed in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla?
PeterL, ..MARCIO'S RESULTS: ========================== * I have 11 entries. * Before installing Netscape browser branch I Unistalled all my Netscape browsers. However I still have 6 Netscape or MOzillas installed.
Are some of those entries invalid? Do they point to browser installations that are gone? Can you delete the old entries? Do you really have more than 10 browsers on your system?
My HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla have: Mozilla | +-Desktop | +-Mozilla 0.9.8 | +-Mozilla 1.0 | +-Mozilla 1.0 trunk | +-Netscape 6 6.2 | +-Netscape 6 6.2.2 | +-Seamonkey
yes, most are invalids, I have only 2 mozilla browsers installed, Netscape 6.2.2 and Mozilla 1.0
I had the same problem ! I had 3 entries , Mozilla0.9.8, Mozilla1.0 and Mozilla1.0 (en) all this entrys are pointing to the same mozilla.exe Flash copied only the flash plugin itself but not the xpt. i got it from the temp directory and this testcase works now : http://poppy.macromedia.com/flashplayer/javascript/jsControlFLash/jsControlRootLoader_420.html# NOTE: the flash installer seem to launch mozilla 2x after the installation and both are hanging. (i killed one and the other process loaded the macromedai page)
I've been told that Macromedia is aware the installer does not detected Mozilla for xpt files and it will be addressed in a future release of the installer. Those behind the AOL firewall can use the Netscape XPI package which should also install correctly for Mozilla: ftp://sweetlou.mcom.com/products/client/seamonkey/windows/32bit/x86/2002-07-25-08-1.0/xpi/flash.xpi

The reason for the invalid entries of my coment #5 is probably bug 125877.
*** Bug 160511 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Note: very soon, this XPI package will be made public also.
Can someone point out how to workaround this bug? I can't seem to find the temp dir used by the flash installer - it remains only briefly.

FYI: I've added scripting tests to BrowserSpy's Flash detection: http://gemal.dk/browserspy/flash.html It it says no just download: http://gemal.dk/browserspy/flashplayer.xpt and place it in the same dir as "NPSWF32.dll". This works at least for Windows
