395384 - Current nightly builds crash immediately at startup without any feedback

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 394190

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Alexander Rabtchevich]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.9a8pre) Gecko/2007081402 SeaMonkey/2.0a1pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.9a8pre) Gecko/2007081402 SeaMonkey/2.0a1pre

Current builds crash after startup without any feedback. Previous version I have that works is a 2.0 alpha build from 14.08.07. It concerns both installer and archive.
The result doesn't depend on profile or plug-ins. I renamed my profile directory or unpacked Seamonkey into a new directory - the result is the same. Running seamonkey -profilemanager doesn't change anything.

 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install current nightly build.
2. Try to run the suite.
Actual Results:  
Program exits without any notice.

Expected Results:  
Running program.

It would be very helpful if you can find the exact build when the crash
first occurred.

For me 20070828 is the last one that works.  I haven't tried today's (20070908) yest, but 20070907 still doesn't work.  This is on XPSP2.  Win2K does seem to work - I'm writing this on my Windows 2000 machine with 20070907.  It doesn't matter if I use the .exe or the .zip.  There is absolutely no sign of it working, although using Sysinternals' Process Monitor I see a lot of activity.  If I use -console, I get a brief flash.  There's nothing in the eventlog, nor anywhere else that I can find.
