Further to the above posting, when upgrading from Moz 1.2 to 1.3a (build
2002121215) - performing a hot sync will invoke the conduit in 1.2.

Have tried copying the two dlls and the install exe to the 1.3a root directory
and running that there. My sync software now 'sees' the dll in the 1.3 directory
but still invokes Moz 1.2 when syncing.

Please try the Mozilla 1.3b when it is available.

WorksForMe:

After (custom) install,
In 'Start > Programs > Mozilla', I have both 'A. B. P. S. Install' and  'A. B.
P. S. uninstall'.

i believe this was only partially working for 1.3a, but it's definitely working
in current 1.4 nightlies.

Addition to #2:

Have tried 1.3. Both A.B.P.S Install and Uninstall are there.
But install process is halted with error message:
"Error in loading the Conduit Manager while Installing the
Mozilla Address Book Palm Sync Conduit"

I should add that I changed the default path for Palm Sync
from C: to D: From some other people who experience problems with
Palm Sync and Mozilla I hear that they had changed default path 
as well. You might want to know about this.

Anyway, #4 is raising hope that 1.4 will work. I will wait for
the next release.
