209623 - Can't Run Mozilla 1.4rc1 after Install

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 200651

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Slosberg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3.1) Gecko/20030425
Build Identifier: mozilla-win32-1.4rc1-installer.exe

After running 1.4 beta now for a while successfully, I tried to upgrade to
1.4rc1 with bad results.  Can't get it to run after an apparently successful
install.  Tried tor evert back to 1.4 beta and get the same error (which I
didn't get on 1.4 beta before trying to go to 1.4rc1).  I tried a wide variety
of uninstalls and installs and none worked.  I had a similar error with the 1.4
alpha install which caused me to skip it altogether.

I had to revert all the way back to 1.3.1 (which I am on now).  After getting it
to work, I decided to try to move forward again with the same bad results.  So I
am back to 1.3.1 until something new happens.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install mozilla-win32-1.4rc1-installer.exe
2. Wait for browser to crash on first and all subsequent tries
3.

Actual Results:  
Program error in mozilla.exe

Expected Results:  
run properly

I am getting notice of a crash log but the automatic feedback program is not
working.  If you let me know what file you are looking for I will forward it along.

Have you uninstalled any old version before installing, and more importantly
installed into an empty directory??

Comment 2

[Mark Slosberg]

I have uninstalled all old versions prior to running the install for 1.4rc1.  I
have not gone and deleted the old Program Files\mozilla.org directory.   I can
try that.

Comment 3

[Mark Slosberg]

Deleting the mozilla.org directory seems to have done the trick.  I think I know
what might have been wrong also.  I have had to reinstall the spellchecker each
time I have updated the browser.  Perhaps the leftover "old" spellchecker files
were screwing up the launch?  Those files can't be "uninstalled" to my knowledge.

Yes, the spellchecker is the culprit.

Is there a correct version of Spellchecker for the 1.4rc1?
