10421 - [PP]Execute: From Macintosh, SimpleText does not launch

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Installer: XPInstall Engine, defect, P1)

Description

[Jimmy Lee]

Build: 7/22/99 SeaMonkey build

1. From http://jimbob/trigger2.html, trigger
   http://jimbob/jars/a_execute_mac.jar

Using form:
Install.StartInstall("Acceptance: a_execute_mac", "acceptance", vi, 0);
err = Install.Execute("SimpleText");
Install.LogComment("Execute returns: " + err);

RESULT:
SimpleText is not launched.  "xpinstall" is not found from Temporary Items.
I'm not sure if it has been "cleaned up" already.  The Install.log shows the
following:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://jimbob/jars/a_execute_mac.jar     --     07/23/1999 14:44:41
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Acceptance: a_execute_mac

** Execute returns: 0
Item [1/1]  Executing: Webbies:Temporary Items:xpinstall

Install **FAILED** with error -2142044199

Install **FAILED** with error -2142044199
Finished Installation  07/23/1999 14:44:42

EXPECTED RESULT:
SimpleText is launched.  The Install.log indicates a successful installation
without any error messages.

I think Doug is already working on this so I'm reassigning

samir, once your applesingle fixes are in, can you verify this?  I think not
having as is the "real" problem.

I tried to verify this after nsAppleSingleDecoder went in last night. It was
choking in other places: libreg I believe. I think we are trying to register an
nsInstallExecute object. Not sure if I'll get to this in M9.

Jimmy,
Does execute work on other platforms with recent builds? Win32?

Comment 5

[Samir Gehani]

Not on critical path of install process demo. Moving to M10.

Comment 6

[Samir Gehani]

Fix checked in. Should be in today's builds.
