22080 - 12/17 nightly clean install chokes on wizardHandlerSet.js

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect, P3)

Description

[John Morrison]

I decided to do a 'clean' install of Mozilla with today's builds (Dec 17).

1) Delete the directory where you installed Seamonkey
2) Delete c:\windows\mozregistry.dat
3) Delete the user profile directory, \users50

With either the

   mozilla-win32.zip from 1999-12-17-10-M13/   or
   mozilla-win32-installer.exe from 1999-12-17-08-M13/

when I start mozilla, the profile dialog comes up (as it should) but I
get the following errors (see notes at end for [n]).

      *** Deferring registration of sample JS components
      *** Registering sidebar JS components

[1] on startup
[2] click first next (from welcome screen)
[3] click second next (set profile name)
[4] click second next again (after first failed to proceed)
[5] click cancel (I'm dead)

I realize that nightly builds are at your own risk, and I don't expect
them to run. But I imagine you might like to know about this. [I also
believe this is Ben_Goodger's bailiwick (wizardHandlerSet.js)]
