16414 - [DOGFOOD]mozilla.exe crashes if there's no profile directory.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: BackEnd, defect, P3)

Description

[Sean Su]

This happens when there is a mozregistry.dat, but no profile directory to go
with it.

Deleting the mozregistry.dat launches the profile manager and then the browser
comes up fine.

Bhuvan, I didn't find any duplicates of this in the open bugs.  I had thought
this was fixed, but maybe recent changes broke it again.  Steve

If there is a mozregistry.dat file but the profile directory has been deleted,
the profiles in the mozregistry.dat will be listed in profile manager window. If
you select one, you will exit - since there are no profile files associated with
the entry

accepting the bug.

The crash occurred in the past, as the profile directory was deleted and
app couldn't find prefs file.

This is Fixed. Code has been added to recreate the entire directory structure
that is lost. The directory path is obtained from the registry. Contents of the
defaults/profile folder gets copied into the newly created folder.
