107938 - Unable to install mozilla while netscape running.

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[h-dot]

It's not possible to install neither mozilla while netscape(6.x) is started nor 
install ns 6.x while moz is started.

Installer says an instance of netscape/mozilla is alreday running.

I think this is somehow related to:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107694

Basically I think netscape and mozilla should be two completly different apps, 
with no sharing of settings/files/folders.

dupe of bug 40109.

Netscape 6.x is mozilla based and you try to start 2 second instance.
You can ask Netscape if they change NS6.x.
(This is not a Netscape database)


*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 40109 ***

nope. reporter: you're getting bad results because you're using browser-general,
if you tried to pick a component, better things might happen.

[i'm not saying this isn't a dupe, or that it's valid. i would expect the
installer to resolve this as wontfix, but that's up to them]

I don't think this is a dupe of bug 40109. That one involves two instances of
Mozilla. Here we have an instance of Netscape and an instance of Mozilla.

Still, I propose marking this bug as either invalid or wontfix. There is no
conceivable, practical need for anyone to *install* mozilla while Netscape is
running.

Curt,
Will the fix for bug 110878 check for both Mozilla/Netscape running?  This could 
be duplicate?

Comment 6

[Curt Patrick (gone)]

It is all mozilla under the hood.  I suppose we could look around the registry
and respond differently but, with the work we are doing for 110875 this should
all become pretty irrelevant so I'm going to mark this invalid (it isn't exactly
a dupe).
