19566 - [DOGFOOD] Error -229 during installation of psm

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect, P3)

Description

[Peter Trudelle]

Using today's opt bits on Win98, I got an 'Error -229: Error occurred during
installation' alert, during installation (duh!)
The installation was not obviusly affected, it completed and I was able to
launch, fill out a secure form (doggie snack!), and read and print a mail
message before it crashed (probably unrelated?).

Elevating to dogfood in case of regressions. This bug prevents upgrades of psm,
so full effects won't be felt until the API changes and it breaks. No snacks
from junruh.

I also see this bug, at the end of the installation. What are the files to
update to get this bugfix? Thanks, Vishy

This bug only occurs if you already have Cartman. The existing version will be
compatible, and this is the last thing installed, so there's really no harm
done until cartman is updated, just annoyance.  Since this fix will go into
tomorrow's build we're covered well before we will get a real cartman update.

if you still want the fix it's mozilla/xpinstall/src/nsJSInstall.cpp

GetComponentFolder() was spanked by the change from folder strings to objects,
in a way that raised a JS exception that aborted the install script.

Bulk changing all JAR Installation component bugs to Installer: XPI Packages
