229423 - Inappropriate error reporting behaviour when insufficient disk space

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 218156

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Robin Green]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

When the installer determines that there is not enough disk space for a
particular component, it asynchronously reports an error message with an error
code number instead of a description.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to install mozilla with only about 100Mb free

Actual Results:  
Error dialog pops up with "Error -xxx: blah blah" where xxx is some number. But
the installation still continues, even though the error is fatal.

Expected Results:  
1. Descriptive dialog box saying what the actual error is (insufficient disk space)
2. Installation should not continue after a fatal error.
