Build 1999120208-M12 1. Run on NT, Linux, or Win system. 2. Go to XPInstall Test page: http://jimbob/trigger2.html 3. From the dropdown menu, select this script: a_execute_mac. Script installs and tries executing SimpleText. 4. Press Trigger case. OK. 5. Check the logfile Results: (logfile contents from NT test): http://jimbob/jars/a_execute_mac.jar -- 12/03/1999 10:49:50 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Acceptance: a_execute_mac ------------------------- ** Execute returns: 0 Install **FAILED** with error -2142044161 Install **FAILED** with error -2142044161 Finished Installation 12/03/1999 10:49:52 Expected: Correct error handling. When running Execute API, XPInstall spawns a process to run SimpleText. It's showing in "** Execute returns: 0" that the process was spawned successfully. That's fine if all the routine should do is set the process in motion. (If it should determine whether it actually ran or not, that would be something else!). But what isn't correct is the internal handling. Getting "Install FAILED" with a garbage error number. And why did we get it twice? ******************************************************************************* Here's Jimmy's a_execute_mac script: //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //////// // a_execute_mac.js // // Acceptance test // • Checks the 1 parameter form of Execute; executes SimpleText // // ~ XPInstall QA // July 23, 1999 // //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //////// var vi = "1.0.1.12" Install.StartInstall("Acceptance: a_execute_mac", "acceptance", vi, 0); err = Install.Execute("SimpleText"); Install.LogComment("Execute returns: " + err); if (0 == Install.GetLastError()) Install.FinalizeInstall(); else Install.AbortInstall();

I also executed a_execute_unix script on NT. It also returns "Install FAILED" with crazy error number. Script attempts to execute DTPad.
