[Worcester12345]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050810 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050810 Firefox/1.0+

Trying to install this morning's hourly/nightly Thunderbird, it gets all the way
through until almost the end, and then says Talkback not available, and you have
to kill the installer process. Thunderbird then works OK after, but also does
not show up in Add/Remove Programs control panel. This is on XP and NT Windows
machines. Also, Talkback not invoked when Thunderbird crashes after this on
these machines.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Attempt to install.
2.Fail at end.
3.Kill process.

Actual Results:  
Installer crashed (hung) at end. Had to kill the process. Talkback not functional.

Expected Results:  
Installed Talkback and completed the install successfully. Talkback should have
run when Thunderbird crashes, which is more frequent in these builds by the way.

Even though the checkbox is there to install it? What is the solution to the
problem? Install a different one and then a .zipped hourly? 

Thanks.
