298838 - Will not finish installation. Will not automatically start Mozilla after Build installation

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 297725

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Bill Bussey]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050529
Build Identifier: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/latest/

When I try to install the latest Mozilla build from 6/19 forward, it goes
through the installation in a seemingly OK manner. However, it will not
automatically start Mozilla after the installation is complete. Clicking on the
short cut or the Open file anywhere on my system will not start Mozilla either.

I've had to go back in and reinstall the build dated 5/29/05 in order to start
Mozilla at all.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download latest build of Mozilla dated after 5/29/05.
2.Start installation.
3.Complete installation.
4.Click on shortcut or program start key.
5.Nothing happens



Expected Results:  
It should have started Mozilla and gone to the Mozilla start or home page.

This was already fixed on 6/24.

It is not resolved. It just did the same thing when I tried to install the
latest 6/26 build. The only thing different is that the Mozilla open block came
up. But it did not start Mozilla. It was not visible in my Win XP 2 open
Applications.

I just grabbed both of those files and did 2 separate installations from
ftp://216.165.129.134/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly, all went fine for me
under Windows XP Service Pack 2.  One more independant confirmation from someone
else would be nice, too.

I just tested this again on CTho's system via a VNC client, and both the full
and stub installers dated 6/26 worked just fine; after installing, mozilla.exe
launched and displayed his homepage.  Bill, you're absolutely sure you're using
the 6/26 installer?  I ask because it took me forever to get the ftp.mozilla.org
servers to give me anything past 6/23, due to them not being rsync'd properly
lately.

Bill just filed bug 298925, which means his installer is working fine.

Verified.
