*sigh* -- someone obsoleted another component without telling us. (see bug 94108
for similar problems in 0.9.4)

Mike: do a directory listing by date in your "components" directory -- which
.dll's (ignore other types) are older than most of them?

Comment 3

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

This may be something we want to get into 0.9.5 if it's not too late. Should be
a trivial fix once we figure out which .dll needs to be removed

Been here before.  Let me see if I can find it.

Comment 6

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

Hm, don't see anything old there (nppl3260 is the Real plugin, it's OK being 'old').

In my own tree I installed 0.9.5 and compared to a 0.9.4 build, the following
seem to be extra:
 components\evntloop.dll
 components\nativapp.dll
 components\universalchardet.dll

All three still appear in the package lists. evntloop.dll and nativapp.dll don't
appear to be built anymore.

Universalchardet.dll still appears in my build and in a Mozilla release but is
explicitly removed from the commercial release. Frank? Shouldn't it be in both
or neither?

Comment 7

[Matt Shook]

I just downloaded 0.95.  I never had this problem with 0.93 or 0.94, but I got
the error message when I installed 0.95.  I can consistently reproduce this
error message by going to "Help: About Plug-ins."

So I just did an install of 0.94 followed by an install of 0.96 and found the
following dlls to be obsolete:

AcctIdl.dll
chardetc.dll
evntloop.dll
nativapp.dll
and Mike's listing indicates that nppl3260.dll is also obsolete.  So I'm going
to have the installer clean up those 5 dll's, in addition to the clean up it is
already doing.

Removes those obsolete dlls

the code itself looks good.

what about the files that Dan mentioned:
 components\evntloop.dll
 components\nativapp.dll
 components\universalchardet.dll

Also don't forget to create a patch for the ns tree too.

Comment 17

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

Don't put nppl3260.dll in the list -- it's the Real Player plugin and isn't the
source of this problem. It's also one example of why we can't simply delete
everything in the components directory when we upgrade.

Comment 18

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

This patch probably fixes bug 96095, bug 108515, and bug 111199. It will NOT fix
bug 108220 which probably ought to be moved to bugscape anyway (fix would be in
nim.jst or less likely commercial mail.jst)

Comment 19

[Jon Granrose]

I'm in over my head here, but why would we remove those files via the installer
rather than the packages-* files?  Are they part of some 3rd party component not
built by the build process?  I just want to be sure we're keeping the packages-*
files current.

Jon, If we leave obsolete dll files from previous installations lying around after
upgrade installations the user gets an ominous error message the first time
netscape is launched following the upgrade.  See the attached screen shot.  If
the installer cleans up all dll's that it knows are obsolete before installing
than the confusing error goes away.  The tricky problem is keeping track of
dll's which become obsolete as the product continues to develop.  It is pain in
the neck janitorial work.  But somebody has to do it.

Comment 23

[Jon Granrose]

ah, ok, so this is to remove old dlls from previous installations when someone
installs a new version into the same directory as an old release without first
removing the old release.  Anyone who's ignorant enough to install a new version
on top of an old deserves what they get, IMO, but I realize that's not a very
customer-friendly attitude... ;-)  Thanks for the explanation.
