44988 - Installer doesn't install

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect, P3)

Description

[Martin Mueller]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT)
BuildID:    2000000061311

I have not been able to install Mozilla M16 or the Netscape pr 1 version on my 
Dell NT machine (Nt service release 5). Winzip unzips the downloaded file to a 
directory. There appears to be no other installation procedure (perhaps that is 
intended). When you click on the Mozilla.exe icon, the application appears on 
the screen, but then it simply hangs: in the My sidebar window a little 
revolving circle appears with the word "Loading" to the side.  

This has happened three times

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
I reinstalled the application three times following the automatic instructiosn 
on each occasion

Actual Results:  	The application hangs with a "Loading" message 
repeating itself						

I'm not a hacker, so this may be useless to you. But it appears that on a 
perfectly standard Dell Dimension machine on NT, following routine instruction 
the application never gets to first base

Please try on a new nightly build.

from the info you've provided, it doesn't sound like it's an installation 
problem.  What is the name of the file that you've downloaded and unzipped in 
order to get to mozilla.exe?

the build you are attempting to install is quite old.  Please download a recent
build and try again.  Make sure oyu delete a file called mozregistry.dat located
in your winNT directory.  If you still have problems getting mozilla to run then
reopen this bug.  Thanks for your help in testing and reporting bugs.  This
worksforme with 071108 mozila build on NT
