290314 - 229 SCRIPT_ERROR trying to install 20050414 nightly

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 290312

(Firefox :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Tony Mechelynck [:tonymec]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050412 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-aviary1.0.1

Downloaded the win32 installer.exe newly available today on the ftp directory
mentioned above. Tried to launch it after closing the current instance of
Firefox. After going through the dialogs (accept license, custom install, next,
next, next...) I get an error popup for 229 SCRIPT_ERROR.

The same error happens for the parallel installer for Thunderbird
(ThunderbirdSetup.exe, replace firefox by thunderbird in the path).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the new Firefox nightly aviary W32 installer available 14 April.
2. Run it.


Actual Results:  
229 SCRIPT_ERROR as soon as the progress bar appears

Expected Results:  
should have installed Firefox and (after asking) launched it.

After clicking OK in the error popup, the installer is stalled and must be
closed by clicking the [X] at top right.
