Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 290312

(Thunderbird :: 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/thunderbird/nightly/latest-aviary1.0.1

Downloaded the ThunderbirdSetup.exe installer newly available as of now on the
ftp directory mentioned above. Tried to run it after closing the current
instance of Thunderbird. After going through the dialogs (accept license, custom
install, next, next, next...) an error popup for 229 SCRIPT_ERROR comes up as
soon as the progress bar appears.

The same error happens on the parallel version of the Firefox aviary installer.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the ThunderbirdSetup.exe aviary nightly as of 14 April 2005.
2. Try to run it.


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

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

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

Attachment: install_status.log and install_wizard.log of failed W32 install

Created attachment: install_status.log and install_wizard.log from failed
install (install.log contains only data from older, successful, installs)

This was taken care of in the equivalent Firefox bug.
