with NSMacInstaller 1999-12-13-08, with MacOS 8.5 & 8.6 Ja: 1. Use ftp to download NSMacInstaller--should be decompressed automatically. 2. Launch Mac Installer using "typical" installation option Result: Installer fails to install top level files, the files in the Browser.xpi. Workaround: Load the browser files separately using the "custom" option of the NSMacInstaller.

teruko and I both discovered, in today's build, that the browser.xpi is being downloaded, but it's the wrong one--yesterday's browser.xpi is installed by NSMacInstaller on Japanese systems. Note that Japanese systems not only have different character sets, but also different date formats.

This has been observed by Grace et. al. today on the US version of Mac OS 8.5 as well. Grace and I are investigating this. Thanks.

The fix to 21734 fixes this too.

But in 1999-12-20-15-M12, this bug reappears. Browser.xpi is downloaded, but not installed. I rebooted not once, but numerous times, and deleted Mozilla Registry, but the browser components were never installed.

Grace, Does this build yield the same symptoms on the US version of OS 8.5 and 8.6 as the Japanese versions?

Samir, I am seeing the same folder/files with the NSMacInstaller that I see by unstuffing the .bin file for the 1999-12-20-23 M12 builds I did note that top level files in both folders are showing Dec20 dates- identical times between folders. Folders such as chrome and res have times of installation but files have yesterday dates/times again the same in both folders You can view on my machine. Build date on seamonkey shows 1999122023

I installed this again using 12-20-23 builds, and it is now working. If yesterdays files are being installed, it may be that the machine needs to be rebooted.

On the Mac, reboots are not necessary, only restarts of Mozilla itself. I'm marking this bug resolved/worksforme.

Samir, I thought reboots were necessary to get rid the "Temporary Items" ? So what's the deal with Grace's last comment? Did you check her Mac and see what happened? If things don't work for her, why is this bug marked as WORKSFORME :)

I believe Grace's comments empirically conclude successful installation since everything is identical. Hence, worksforme. The reboot is no longer required for re-installation because we delete everything in "Temporary Items" once done installing (a recent fix).

Hi, I tried to install M16 (ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/m16/MozillaInstaller-M16.sea.bin) and it didn't install the files located in the browser.xpi file. This happened both with the typicall and the custom (browser-only) install mode. In the installer log file, the installer returns "Error -225" for all files that are contained in the browser.xpi file. During the install, the app stops at "Installing Navigator"/"Processing Mozilla" and quits (without any Finder error message, however). My Mac: Perf. 6320 (PPC 603e with 120MHz), 24 MB RAM, 35 MB virtual memory, MacOS 8.6 German, enough free space on the HD, date settings are correct. Any ideas? P.S.: By the way, installing Mozilla using the self-extracting archive (ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/m16/mozilla-mac-M16.sea.bin) is easier and faster... why not use a standard StuffIt Installer app?

Raphael, This bug has long since been fixed. Please open a new bug for the symptoms you describe. And StuffIt Expander is *not* faster than the XPInstall engine.
