234938 - Crash in xpinstal.dll when installing Mail and News

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 234804

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Jure Repinc (JLP)]

I am just trying to install nightly build 20040219 and the installation always
crashes with this info:

AppName: setup.exe	 AppVer: 1.0.0.2	 ModName: xpinstal.dll
ModVer: 1.7.20040.21823	 Offset: 0000c810

The setup shows this info when it crashes:

Currently installing Mail & Newsgroups
Preparing file: emitter.dll

Tha latest setup build that works for me is:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/2004-02-18-11-trunk/mozilla-win32-installer.exe

The one that doesn't work is:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/2004-02-19-10-trunk/mozilla-win32-installer.exe

Well by works correctly I mean installs without a crash. Becase I can't get it
to run at all after install. So the build that installs and runs is:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/2004-02-17-09-trunk/mozilla-win32-installer.exe

Confirming observations made by reporter.

The 20040219 installer crashes regardless of install type (full/minimal/custom).

That last bug reference bug should have been bug 234976.

Argh... when I browsed the last couple days worth of bugs looking for this, I
was searching at severity 'blocker' and 'critical'.  Bug I'm duping to currently
has severity 'normal' .

ok..  I'm getting a bit frustrated here,  does anyone have a solution to this bug? 
I posted on the win32 2-19 release.. now were at the 2-24 release and yet the
installer does the same thing as previous versions..  how can we test anything
if we can't get it installed.. thanks
