166464 - Browser won't open

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 165199

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Byron]

Obviously I'm using Netscape 4.79 to submit this bug. The problem is I did an 
install of the latest nightly build Mozilla 1.1.0.2002090308 on top of 
Mozilla 1.1.0.2002082108. Upon completion of the install the browser tried to 
open as usual, however all I got was a small window titled "Alert". Thinking 
that closing this would open the full browser. Nada....it just closed the 
browser completely. I did an uninstall, using the uninstall on my programs menu 
for Mozilla. Thinking again that if I re-installed from 
the mozilla-win32-installer-sea. exe file I downloaded it would fix the problem. 
Nada again, same problem came up. So thinking again I downloaded a second 
mozilla-win32-installer-sea. exe file from the latest nightly ftp site. Again 
uninstalling the previous one I tried installing the newest download. Nada 
again, same results. Is there a bug in the downloads....?? Or has something been 
changed on my computer..?? Should I do a complete cleaning of all files 
associated with Mozilla before re-installing...?? or might it be I just need to 
re-start my computer to see what happens....?? Help....!!!

Never install over a previous version. Always uninstall first. This would not
have chanced this problem, though.
