151034 - Interrupted software install download causes software install dialog to stop responding

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

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

Description

[Citrus538]

If your internet connection is not "gracefully" shut down (e.g. someone unplugs
your connection) while the software installer is downloading a file, the
software install dialog box will not respond to any keystrokes or button presses
until the timeout is reached.

I think this is a dup.

Comment 2

[Henrik Lynggaard Hansen]

This bug has not been touched for nearly 2 years. In most cases, that 
means it has "slipped through the net".
Could someone please take a moment to add a comment to the bug with current
status, and/or close it.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
