339319 - NSIS installer does not work on trunk builds

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Bill Gianopoulos [:WG9s]]

Is the NSIS installer suposed to be working on the trunk now?

When I do my own builds, a firefox-3.0a1.en-US.win32.installer.exe file is creaded in dist/sea.

However, attemtping to execute it results in a pop-up saying "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file.  You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

It is created for trunk builds and the basic requirements are listed in bug 326580 comment #28. Also, you can see the NSIS installer in the nightly and hourly build directories for trunk.

The NSIS installer will be created in objdir/dist/install/sea as well.

The error you are seeing is for the XPInstall based installer since it doesn't have the name we are using for for the installer per bug 326580 comment #28.
