28695 - Unable to locate MSVCIRT.dll causes crash

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 27601

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect, P3)

Description

[Sitsofe Wheeler]

When trying to start up both the latest nightly (21/02) and M13 on one 
particular computer, I receive the following error message four times:

NSPR: EventReceiver: mozilla.exe - Unable to Locate DLL

Mozilla then tries to start but only a tiny window with just the gadgets 
appears. The window can be resized, but the display is not refreshed and 
nothing really appears inside. Mozilla has installed and run fine on other 
computers.

This computer has never seen a copy of Mozilla before so I doubt it is a 
settings problem.

Builds: M13 and 0221 WinNT 4 SP6

I still see this in a 17 March nightly build. Apologies for the delay...

Comment 7

[Daniel (Leaf) Nunes]

sean, do i need to include this dll? i thought the bug causing this crash was
fixed...

Comment 8

[Sean Su]

look like we might have regressed.  I'm not aware that we need MSVCRT.dll.  I'll 
see if I can track down what is requiring it this time.

MSVCRT we definitely need, used by XPCOM and just about everything else.

MSVCIRT appears to be used by three components: gkhtml.dll, gkparser.dll, 
xpacct32.dll

This is a dup of bug #27601, no?

[e-mail]: I think you're right. The only difference is that I see this 
on WinNT. Marking as a duplicate.
