User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20031220
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20031220

All is in the summary. I grabbed 0.8 branch source, build it (see .mozconfig in
additional details), build installer following Ben Goodger instructions.

But when installer copies components to disk, the progress meter is empty.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Grab 0.8 sources
2.build them and installer too
3.launch install
4.look at progress meter while copying components.

Actual Results:  
progress meter stays blank.

Expected Results:  
progress meter filled :)

I am building 0.8 Firebird with installer on a WinXP-Sp1 computer, with MSVC++ 6.0.

I am using a classic .mozconfig :

"export MOZ_PHOENIX=1
mk_add_options MOZ_PHOENIX=1

ac_add_options --disable-composer
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --disable-ldap
ac_add_options --disable-mailnews
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --enable-crypto
ac_add_options --disable-profilesharing
ac_add_options --enable-optimize='-O1 -G6'
ac_add_options --disable-shared
ac_add_options --enable-static
ac_add_options --disable-pedantic

ac_add_options
--enable-extensions=cookie,xml-rpc,xmlextras,p3p,pref,transformiix,universalchardet,typeaheadfind,webservices,inspector"

NB : I tried to see if enable-optimize line was guilty. Using a simple
ac_add_options --enable-optimize instead of ac_add_options
--enable-optimize='-O1 -G6' changed nothing.

Confirming in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7)
Gecko/20040526 Firefox/0.8.0+ Aviary build.  Everything gets copied ok, but the
progressbar shows no progress whatsoever.

Thunderbird installer also has the same problem the last days.

Hm, so it looks like the file sizes for components are not being filled in
properly in config.ini when it is generated. I'm assigning this to bryner when
he gets back. We should have a fix in the next couple of days.

Bryner fixed the build script issue this afternoon. Marking fixed for him.

[Ben Goodger (use ben at mozilla dot org for email)]

Actually, this was still busted. I just properly fixed it branch and trunk.

[Bill Mason]

Verified fixed on the trunk, 20040604 PC/WinXP.
