40405 - registerChrome() causes install stub to request reboot

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Installer: XPInstall Engine, defect, P3)

Description

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

Calling registerChrome() with the DELAYED_CHROME option causes performInstall() 
to report REBOOT_REQUIRED. In a sense this is true because the chrome won't be 
installed until you restart Mozilla. But in the install context that is exactly 
what we are doing, starting Mozilla again right afterwards.

We could say that if the script explicitly requests DELAYED_CHROME then we 
don't report the 999 -- whoever launches the script should know that this is 
required. We will only report it then if DELAYED_CHROME is not specified but we 
have to delay it anyway because we couldn't get the Chrome Registry.

No REBOOT_REQUIRED with DELAYED_CHROME used.  Marking Verified!
