250737 - Thunderbird 0.7 and later produce error message about xpcom.dll and do not run

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Timwi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.8

I will attach shortly a screenshot of the error message I get when I try to run
Thunderbird. I get hundreds of thousands of these messages, each time with a
different "Prozedureinsprungpunkt". I didn't have the patience to wait for the
end of it to see if the software actually works or not.

I get this error message if I:
- install Thunderbird 0.7 or later
- install Thunderbird 0.6 on top of anything later

I do *not* get this error message if I:
- install Thunderbird 0.5
- install Thunderbird 0.6 on top of 0.5

Reproducible: Always

Attachment: Screenshot of the first error message

This is the first error message I get. All subsequent error messages are the
same but with a different Prozedureinsprungpunkt.

you can't install on top of previous builds. See the release notes
