142785 - Installer Fails

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 141438

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Norman B. Robinson]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0+)
Gecko/20020507
BuildID:    2002050705

Using the nightly installer I rec'd an errors 
1. (missed the first screenshot; something about some event),
 
2. XPCOM:EventReceiver:Mozilla.exe - Entry Point Not Found ; The procedure entry
point ?Mid@nsAString@@QBEIAAV1@II@Z could not be located in the dynamic link
library xpcom.dll.

3. Then I received an error about using the wrong installer for Java - don't use
the Internet Explorer version (sorry - I lost my screenshots for this one)

The Java message hangs the machine and you have to kill it - then mozilla just dies.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have Mozilla RC1 installed
2. Download and install sea.exe nightly build
3. Run installer

Actual Results:  Installer hangs on trying to load mozilla.

Expected Results:  Asked the user to install nightly builds to a different
directory?

Removing the user.js and prefs.js allowed mozilla to start up!

I beg to differ - feel free to enlighten me. I don't see the issue in the
release notes (I just reread them) I see the issue about having an earlier
version of java installed - but I have and had before installed the latest version.

I didn't remove any java from my plugin folder as mentioned in the release notes
- I did delete my .js files in my mozilla folder. If they are related perhaps
the release notes could be updated.

What about my user agent? Sorry for my ignorance. I understand if you don't have
time to explain it to me.
