Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 14901

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

Description

[Jimmy Lee]

Build: 10/27/99 SeaMonkey build

1. From http://jimbob/trigger2.html, trigger http://jimbob/jars/b4patch.xpi to
   set up file to be patched
2. Checking Version registry appears correct here
3. From http://jimbob/trigger2.html, trigger http://jimbob/jars/afterpatch.xpi
   to patch file

b4patch.xpi
-----------
Install.StartInstall("Functional: patch test", "/patchtest", "1.1.1.1", 0);
var f = Install.GetFolder("Program", "patchtest");
Install.AddSubcomponent("/patchtest", "1.1.1.1", "SimpleText", f, "", true);

afterpatch.xpi
--------------
Install.StartInstall("Functional: patch test", "/patchtest", "1.2.1.1", 0);
var f = Install.GetFolder("Program", "patchtest");
err = Install.Patch("/patchtest", "1.2.1.1", "NCSA Telnet 2.7b5x.gdf", f,
"SimpleText", true);

RESULT:
The patching appears to be successful.  The Install.log is accurate.  The
Version registry shows that the registry name "/patchtest" is gone after
triggering afterpatch.xpi.

EXPECTED RESULT:
From the Version registry, the registry name "/patchtest" is present with an
updated Version number.
