158112 - Failure in Macromedia Flash Player installation

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

seen on windows commercial trunk build 2002-07-18-04-trunk

-install this build (stub or blob bits)
-use default settings through the installer dialog
notice the installation process runs clean through until it gets to the Flash
installation upon which it throws up an error message.  After dismissing the
dialog, the installation doesn't seem to go any further.  
-Attempt to launch the app from the desctop icon (the app should have launched
automatically on completion of the installation)
a window with some more message pops up (is this javascript errors?)

the build doesn't launch...BLOCKER.

this did not affect linux or mac os9 installation.

short question: 
Do you mean the mozilla installer or the flash6 installer ?
Mozilla doesn't install flash, if you mean that mozilla doesn't start after
installing flash it should be in plugins..

ah, this should be a bugscape bug.  this is happening with commercial 
installation.  I forgot mozilla doesn't install flash.

Fix:

err = addDirectory("",
                    "6.0.40.0",
                     "Plugins",          // dir name in jar to extract 
                     pluginsFolder,      // Where to put this file (Returned
from getFolder) 
                     "",                 // subdir name to create relative to
pluginsFolder
                     true);              // Force Flag 

needed to add the version to addDirectory.
