(Whiteboard: Firefox version of bug: bug 249593)
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla thunderbird 0.4 (zip distro), official build from mozilla ftp server, english version
Trying to run TB 0.4 on Win NT 4 (SP 4 or 5) ends up with the recurring message:
"can not find entrypoint of procedure CopyStgMedium in dll urlmon.dll". (The
original error message is in dutch, the language of the win NT system I use is
dutch). Trying to create a new profile with 'thunderbird -p' instantly gives
same error message. thunderbird was installed in fresh folder, deleting the
previous profile folder, or the contents of the chrome folder or anything else
mentioned in the release notes didn't solve the problem. TB 0.4 seems to be
broken on win nt 4, although the release notes put NT 4 in the supported OS
list. TB 0.3 runs fine on the same system.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run TB 0.4 on win NT 4
2. see error message, click ok to close.
3. thunderbird did not start at all.
Actual Results:
besides the error message nothing happens.
Expected Results:
see TB 0.4 running.
Weird problem, I'm not new to mozilla products, but with all my knowledge and
tricks I know to make moz builds run I wasn't able to make TB run on Win NT 4.

The urlmon.dll is:
"The Urlmon library component
is a Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) handler and
Component Object Model (COM) application for the Wininet library."

This is still happening with the Thunderbird 0.5 release on Windows NT4, SP6.
The exact error-message in English is
XPCOM:EventReceiver: thunderbird.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point CopyStgMedium could not be located in the dynamic link
library urlmon.dll.

It seems that Thunderbird needs a version of urlmon.dll that is more recent than
the one supplied with Win NT4 SP6. One suggestion was to install IE6 to get this
DLL, but that doesn't feel like a good solution...

The patch that caused the regression is the fix for bug 223909.
Porting the code to Mozilla would fix bug 47838.
Depends on: 223909

Thunderbird also does not run under Windows95! Firefox had the same problem, but
they have fixed it in there currenz nightlies. I hope that you will also make
Thunderbird run under Windows 95 again.

Install file:
ThunderbirdSetup-0.7.3.exe
Operating system:
Windows NT 4.0 sp6 (4.00.1381)
Always reproducable.
I ran the installation on a fresh system to which ONLY SP6 was installed. No
other vendor software is installed on this system. The following DLLs are not
installed during installation, but are required.
urlmon.dll
shlwapi.dll <-- Required but not previously reported in bugzilla DB.
SP6 does not supply URLMON.DLL as previously reported.
FIX: Copying DLLs from an XP SP1 system into the application directory or system
directory fixes problem.

balleysson, any thoughts on when you might be able to get a patch together for
this one? -thanks

I may have misunderstood, but from the comments, the patch in bug 249593 (which
is awaiting review) will fix this bug.

As the patch in Bug #249593 applies to files common to FF and TB, then this
would become a dup. If the fix was in mozilla/browser somewhere, then this
wouldn't be a dup.

This problem seems to be fixed in Firefox latest-trunk nightlies. But
Thunderbird latest-trunk nightlies still do not work under Windows 95 !!! Why is
this currently only fixed for Firedox and not also for Thunderbird !?
