[Jimmy Lee]

Build: 10/6/99 SeaMonkey build

1. From http://jimbob/trigger2.html, trigger
   http://jimbob/jars/a_fileop_fileexecute_win.xpi

var jarSrc = "notepad.exe";

startInstall("Acceptance: a_fileop_fileexecute_win", "acceptance", "1.1.1.1",
0);
g = getFolder("Program");
addFile("fileop_fileexecute_notepad", "3.3.3.3", jarSrc, g, jarSrc, true);
fileSource = g + jarSrc;
err1 = fileExecute(fileSource);
logComment("Path to notepad.exe = " + fileSource);
logComment("fileExecute returns = " + err1);

if (0 == getLastError())
	finalizeInstall();
else
	abortInstall();

RESULT:
notepad.exe is installed.  The application is not launched.  The Version
registry shows that notepad.exe was not registered.  The Install.log shows the
following:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     ------------------------------------


     Install **FAILED** with error -229
     Finished Installation  10/08/1999 15:45:50

EXPECTED RESULT:
notepad.exe is registered in Version registry.  The application is launched from
fileExecute().  Error -229 is not defined from the current list of XPInstall
error messages.

The Mac has the same problem.  The xpi for Mac is at
http://jimbob/jars/a_fileop_fileexecute_mac.xpi

More info...

Uhhh, why am I seeing the message "Function FileExecute requires 2 parameters"?

This may be the problem.
