builds 2000-09-25-12-M18.
1. Go to http://jimbob/trigger3.html
2. In the URL field, enter http://jimbob/jars/a_getCompFolder_regNode.xpi. 
passes a reg node into getComponentFolder().
3. Press Trigger. Then OK.
4. Check log file.
Result: returns null.
Expected: should return directory pathway ("Program" location).

Here's the script:

regNode = "getComponentFolderRegNode";
regName =  "myRegKey";
jarSrc = "smrtupdt.txt";
var vi = "1.0.1.15";

initInstall("Acceptance: a_getcomponentfolder", regNode, vi, 0);
f = getFolder("Program");
addFile(regName, vi, jarSrc, f, "a_getcomponentfolder.txt", true);
performOrCancel();

initInstall("the getComponentFolder part", regNode, vi, 0);
compFolder = getComponentFolder(regNode);
logComment("GetComponentFolder should return path to Program directory: " + 
compFolder);
performOrCancel();

function performOrCancel()
{
   if (0 == getLastError())
      performInstall();
   else
      cancelInstall();
}
