102497 - NSPR: EventReceiver:Mozilla.exe Entry point not found [in xpcom.dll]

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XPCOM, defect)

Description

[dales]

I launched Mozilla Build ID: 2001093008 (v0.9.4+ Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U;
WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.4+) Gecko/20010930] and got an error dialog titled:

NSPR: EventReceiver:Mozilla.exe Entry point not found

containing:

"The procedure entry point ?ToNewUnicode@nsString@@QBEPAGXZ could not be found
in the dynamic link library xpcom.dll"

Dispite the error, the browser is running and so far giving on other problems.

I chose Browser as product so I could target XPCOM as the location of the
missing item.

Later ...

Reporter: Does a fresh profile alleviate your issue? You can create/manage
profiles with "mozilla.exe -profilemanager".

I'm seeing the same problem with 2001100303 (I did not see this with 2001093008 
BTW). And yes when running with a new profile it goes away. And even after 
deleting the new profile, and running with the old profile still doesn't show 
up (?).

Marking WFM as per reporter's comments.

Reporter: Sometimes cruft from very old profiles can "disrupt" current builds of
Mozilla. At this point, you may be thinking that it'd be useful to be able to
export the settings from your old profile into your fresh profile --
unfortunately, that functionality doesn't exist yet and is bug 22689.

I have done a clean-clean-clean install of Win32 Build 2001100403 from
yesterday.      
Previous install, entire profile hierarchy, and mozvers.dat were trashed and dumped.

I'm satisfied that as of this build it WORKSFORME and without spewing any error
messege.
