Build: 2002-10-18-08-trunk (OS X)

1. From http://jimbob/trigger3.html, enter 
   http://jimbob/jars/stickies.xpi in File URL field
2. Click Trigger button
3. Click Install button from dialog
4. Click OK button confirming installation successful

RESULT:
Install.log looks good.  Launch the "Stickies" application, and nothing happens.  

EXPECTED RESULT:
"Stickies" application launches.
Nominating for beta.  Binary installations need to be supported.

Also, it is difficult to be absolutely sure that xpicleanup is completely
successful with replacing binary files in use.

why doesn't it launch? Going to be hard for me to diagnose without a Mac OS X
machine handy. Permissions problem? File corrupted by the install? File
corrupted in the archive itself?

Have the Console app running while trying to launch the app that you say doesn't
start should show what error is being produced
Bug 175400 is about not supporting file permissions.

Adding this to the Mach-O tracking bug although given that it apparently doesn't
work in the CFM build we can live with this for Mozilla 1.3a

I also have this problem, am am using XP. I re-installed mozilla 1.0 and that is
okay, but more recent versions seem to suffer the same problem for some reason.

found the problem.  'stickies.xpi' had the wrong permissions saved for
'Stickes.app/Contents/MacOS/Stickies'.  It was 644, but once I changed it to +x
(755), rezipped it back into stickies.xpi, and installed again, this test worked
fine.

Stickes launched fine.

Marking as invalid since the file permissions were wrong.
