Build 6/1/99 Windows

I am still getting a quick crash with this jar.  Bug 6620 worked for me.  My
assumption is that there may be another problem.  The Install.log shows no jar
triggered.  So in a way, the problem may be worse now since before the jar
started to write to the Install.log.

Once difference is that I am testing this on Windows 98.  My Windows NT is down
and out for now until I get some repair work done.

Clearing resolution.  jimmylee, we need a Talkback stack trace on this. I do not
find any talkback reports from you logged. Can you make one for this and paste
in stack trace ASP please?

setting target milestone to M8
reassign to ssu

Comment 8

[Sean Su]

I can't reproduce the crash.  Perhaps Jimmy has an unstable build of seamonkey?

I'm going to mark this as REMIND.  I would like to try to reproduce this bug on
the M7 build when it comes out.  If REMIND is not the correct resolution, please
change to the appropriate one.

Cannot reproduce crash.  Marking Verified.  This test case is part of
XPInstall Acceptance Suite, so if the problem returns a new bug will be
submitted.

Bulk move of XPInstall (component to be deleted) bugs to Installer: XPInstall
Engine

Comment 11

[Christopher Hoess (gone)]

REMIND is deprecated per bug 35839. I assume this bug is INVALID due to the code
dying, but I can't figure out what it applies to.
