Installation aborts with the above error (screenshot is coming). To reproduce: 1. Download http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/latest-1.7/ -> mozilla-win32-installer.exe (07-May-2004 19:34 11.5M) 2. Install the package using the default settings I verified this to happen on two different computers. Prog.

Come to think about it, this bug "Blocks development and/or testing work", so changing Severity to match. Prog.

Should have been fixed by Bug 240234, maybe not all tinderboxen got changed. Leaf: Don't have the 1.7 branch tinderboxen this workaround with the dummy README file?

It is a regression, last build including Talkback: 1.7: 2004050607 last build not including Talkback: 1.7: 2004050715 link to a dummy talkback.xpi from a not-working build: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/2004-05-07-16-1.7/windows-xpi/talkback.xpi The directories I mentioned in comment 3 are regular nightlies for windows, so may be we should mark this as regression, and dupe it to reopened Bug 240234 -214 DOES_NOT_EXIST error while installing talkback I'm using now the zip build, and it is working fine: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040507 I unpacked an exe, extracted talkback.xpi, unzipped it to install.js and compared to talkback.xpi unzipped from folder windows-xpi, and a talkback.xpi unzipped from tinderbox Creature There is no difference in the 1.7 dummys, besides the revision string. There is a difference between 1.7 dummys and 1.8a dummy from Creature: srDest = 97; ... if(verifyDiskSpace(communicatorFolder, srDest)) { setPackageFolder(communicatorFolder); upgradeCleanup(); err = addDirectory("", "1.8.0.2004050806", "bin", // dir name in jar to extract communicatorFolder, // Where to put this file (Returned from getFolder) "", // subdir name to create relative to communicatorFolder true ); // Force Flag logComment("addDirectory() returned: " + err); // check return value if(!err) ... Talkback.xpi for 1.8a unzips to a file install.js and a folder bin, holding a Readme. This folder bin and the readme is missing in the 1.7 talkback dummys, but used in the code above. The other difference is, that var srDest is 97 for 1.8a, and 1 only for 1.7

the working 4kb talkback.xpi dummy from Trunk tinderbox Creature contains install.js and a folder bin, holding a 10kb readme.txt the not-working 1 kb talkback.xpi from 1.7 nightly contains the attached install.js only, and I guess the lacking folder bin is triggering the error.

Talkback.xpi is missing bin/readme.txt, and that triggers the error. I unzipped the failing mozilla.exe into a folder, deleted the 1 kb sized talkback.xpi, and replaced it with a 5 kb sized talkback.xpi from a windows-xpi folder from Creature, or look into http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/2004-05-08-09-trunk/windows-xpi/ I started Setup.exe in this folder, and had a normal installation.

I believe this bug is Fixed. The windows installer builds install just fine and Talkback is working.

Today's (5/12's) stub installer (run on Win 98) errors out with this message: "The SETUP.EXE file is linked to missing export SHELL32.DLL StrStrlA." Is that a different regression?

I get the same error with the full installer.

I also get the same error on the 1.8a nightly trunk build stub installer. I'm not getting that error on the 1.6 stub installer.

Leaf, is this fixed? I can't reproduce on windows XP with the latest branch build but others are claiming it's still a problem.

Thanks.

this bug has been confused for 243373. talkback was busted for a few days, it's back online for platforms where the installer functions normally.

I won't reopen this without confirmation, but it seems that today's build - mozilla-win32-installer_2004-05-20-09-1.7.exe - seems to be busted by missing talkback again.

Reopening. I also see this problem in the latest nightly: ...latest-1.7/mozilla-win32-installer.exe 20-May-2004 16:46 Prog.

This is fixed now.

That's presumably fixed as in "talkback is working again" rather than fixed as in having the readme file so it won't break again next time talkback doesn't get hooked up for a build, right?

Verified as fix on latest 1.7 branch 06-24 build on WinXP Changing keywords from fixed1.7 to verified1.7. Leave this bug status "as is" until this bug be verified on trunk again...

I have gotten this error message with Firefox for months when installing the nightlies. File a new bug?
