117689 - New version install spits error dialogs about not found entry points

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 108515

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Jetro Lauha]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011221
BuildID:    2001122106

When new mozilla is installed over existing version, installer
spits out error dialogs between installer finishing and opening
the browser first time after install. Below is a list of texts
from the "OK"-buttoned dialogs:

XPCOM:EventReceiver: Mozilla.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point ?ToNewCString@nsString@@QBEPADXZ could not be
located in the dynamic link library xpcom.dll.

XPCOM:EventReceiver: Mozilla.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point ?ToNewUnicode@nsString@@QBEPAGXZ could not be
located in the dynamic link library xpcom.dll.

XPCOM:EventReceiver: Mozilla.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point ?ToNewCString@nsString@@QBEPADXZ could not be
located in the dynamic link library xpcom.dll.

This has happened on several 0.9.x installer releases and
has done that on at least two separate machines. I don't know
if this is related to having a previously installed copy of
mozilla or if this happens on first time installation as well.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. [Perhaps install a bit older release of mozilla first]
2. Use the latest normal win32 full installer release to install
   the browser.
3.

Actual Results:  The installer/browser spits out the dialog boxes as described.
After clicking OK on the dialog boxes it starts out the browser
as expected (although theme setting has changed from the original
setting).

Expected Results:  Not show any error dialogs.

never install an new version on top of a old version. First remove the old version.
