12820 - [PP]Patch: Patching results in deleting patched file

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

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

Description

[Jimmy Lee]

Build: 8/27/99 SeaMonkey build

1. From http://jimbob/trigger2.html, enter or use drop-down and trigger
   a_addmacpatch.jar to set up file to be patched.  The subdirectory 'macpatch'
   is created in the "Program" directory with a text file.
2. Then trigger a_macpatch.jar to patch the file

Install.StartInstall("Acceptance: a_macpatch", "acceptance", vi, 0);
f = Install.GetFolder("Program", "macpatch");
err = Install.Patch(regName, vi, jarSrc, f, "smrtupdt.txt", true);
Install.LogComment("Install.Patch returns = " + err);

RESULT:
The file, smrtupdt.txt, is deleted.  No file remains in the folder.  The
Install.log shows:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://jimbob/jars/a_macpatch.jar   --   08/30/1999   15:13:15
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Acceptance: a_macpatch

** Install.Patch returns = 0
Item [1/1]	Patching: Webbies:moz827:mozilla-mac-M10:macpatch:smrtupdt.txt

Install **FAILED** with error 6

Install **FAILED** with error 6
Finished Installation  08/30/1999 15:13:18

Patching seems to be successful based on the Install.LogComment.  I'm guessing
that it may be related to the clean up.

EXPECTED RESULT:
File is patched and remains in folder.  No error message is shown from
Install.log.

Jimmy, can you verify if this is the registry curruption problem?
