Attempt to install Lightning.  

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:5.0) Gecko/20110624 Thunderbird/5.0


Actual results:

TB5 reports lightning is installed, and requests a restart.  Upon restart, Lightning is not listed in the installed add-ons.


Expected results:

Lightning should be installed.

Is this a 32 or 64 bit Thunderbird? We only support the former, if you are using a 64 bit Thunderbird, please install a 32 bit version.

I see no other way to determine whether it is 32- or 64-bit.  I was running it fine before with TB3, and it broke after the upgrade. So if the upgrade automatically installs 64-bit after already having 32-bit, then I have to yell at the TB people for that.

Comment 3

[Philipp Kewisch [:Fallen] [:📆][:🧩]]

The default should be 32 bit. You can see this in the task manager (Ctrl+Shift+Escape), the Processes view, it should say "thunderbird.exe*32". Could you reinstall Lightning and be sure to click "Continue" if there is a slow script warning?

Comment 4

[Erik M Jacobs]

It does say Thunderbird*32.

I have reinstalled Lightning multiple times.  I never get any slow script warnings.  If there is any way to log the installation, I would be happy to do so.  What I can say is that, inside my profile folder, the extension begins to create directories/folders, but they are all empty.  Once TBird is restarted, they disappear.

Comment 5

[Philipp Kewisch [:Fallen] [:📆][:🧩]]

Could you try it on a new profile maybe? Otherwise there is a pref "extensions.logging.enabled" that you could set to true.

Comment 6

[Erik M Jacobs]

Created clean profile and installed.  Here's the output.  Note that I am not using the default profile location.

Starting TB5 in safe mode from a command prompt that I run as administrator, with a fresh profile in the default folder, Thunderbird will produce a red error bar at the top:
"Lightning could not be installed because Thunderbird cannot modify the needed file."

Here's the extensions.log:

I am seeing these types of errors across all of these error logs:
Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIFile.remove]

There's a thread here that discusses similar issues installing Lightning:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=2239883

Another person:
http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging/topics/lightning_1_0b4_failing_to_install_on_t5_0

There is something fishy in the way that TB5 is working with Win7 and the way that Lighting is trying to install itself and move itself around.

Note that I also tried to run Thunderbird directly with Administrative privileges with both a clean profile and my current profile and had the exact same issues.

[Philipp Kewisch [:Fallen] [:📆][:🧩]]

The installing and moving stuff happens in the extension manager core, I have no idea why its bailing out though. I'm going to move this to Toolkit/Addons-Manager and will confirm based on all the reports on mozillazine.

I hope we can find the reason, but since this seems to be broken in the Mozilla platform, it may not be fixed before Thunderbird 6/7 (which is max. 6/12 weeks down the road)

Comment 10

[Dave Townsend [:mossop]]

Similar problems in bug 666896 where the install succeeds, just takes a long time. Not been able to reproduce this one myself yet though

Comment 11

[Erik M Jacobs]

I am running Microsoft security essentials, but I have no issues with hanging/etc.

I did notice that when I do *not* run TB as administrator, the files do not even get deployed -- just a bunch of empty directories.  When I *do* run TB as administrator, the files all get deployed, but upon restarting TB they all get disappeared as TB appears to be unable to move them.

I'll try a few other things and see if I get the same results, but it appears that something with Windows 7 really does not like how TB is trying to move files around.

Comment 12

[Erik M Jacobs]

Is there any way I can help move this along, or am I waiting for TB6 / going back to TB3?

> back to TB3?

Based on my understanding of the problem (which is simplistic since I've been unable to reproduce it for myself), TB updates won't help here. There is a potential way to fix this but it is a lot of work. The better option would be to change Lightning to support packed installation, this would both solve this problem as well as improve startup performance with Lightning installed. Unfortunately since Lightning uses binary components this may be impossible

Comment 14

[Philipp Kewisch [:Fallen] [:📆][:🧩]]

Lightning is moving towards js-ctypes, but this won't happen before 1.0 so thats of no help. I'm not sure how the staging stuff works, but maybe you could manually unpack the xpi into the extensions/{e62...uid of lightning...} folder and then start Thunderbird?

Comment 15

[Erik M Jacobs]

Appears to be fixed in TB6, at least for me.

Is this likely fixed?

Erik M Jacobs, reporter, is no longer in a position to verify and he isn't operating on windows.

this was duped to bug 562674

Comment 18

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

Fallen, mossop, feel free to reopen if you see something interesting in comment 16. 
Perhaps fixed by Bug 562674 - Make xpi extraction asynchronous - but we won't now because reporter won't be tested, so I'm going to close this.
