12108 - AddDirectory: Empty string jarSource does not create node in Version registry

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Installer: XPInstall Engine, defect, P3)

Description

[Jimmy Lee]

Build: 8/16/99 SeaMonkey build

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

Install.StartInstall("Functional: f_adddirectory_jarsrc_blank",
"f_adddirectory_jarsrc_blank", vi, 0);
f = Install.GetFolder("Program", "f_adddir_jarsrc_blank");
Install.AddDirectory(regName, vi, "", f, jarSrc, true);

RESULT:
No subdirectory or files are installed.  The Install.log shows:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://jimbob/jars/f_adddirectory_jarsrc_blank.jar   --   08/18/1999 17:36:05
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Functional: f_adddirectory_jarsrc_blank



     Install completed successfully
     Finished Installation  08/18/1999 17:36:05

The Version registry shows nothing registered against this jar.

The Macintosh behaves different.  The xpinstall progress dialog does not dismiss
itself.  The jar appears not to have installed since nothing is installed and
the Install.log shows no trigger session.

EXPECTED RESULT:
No directory and files are installed.  But a Version registry node is created.
I'm not sure what to make of the Install.log.
