Dan,
The getFolder("Program, "Netscape Folder") form introduced in the .jst's with 
your recent chrome registration additions mysetriously causes -229.  Will 
revert until this getFolder() problem is resolved.

PDT,
This bug translates to Mac commercial installer doesn't install completely 
yielding an unusable build.  Nominating for dogfood.

If you revert it completely then we're back to AIM not loading, another dogfood 
bug.

[Samir Gehani]

So, the getFolder() API isn't the problem.  There was a trivial script error.  
One line fix to several scripts.  Nominating for smoketest too per dveditz.

Fix checked in, a=granrose.

Won't be part of the Mac respin in progress, there will have to be *another* 
respin this afternoon.  I modified the browser and mail install scripts, they 
appeared to be the only ones with problems

Taking.  Dan fixed the first bug, I'll look into the masked chrome registration 
issue.

Comment 9

[Samir Gehani]

Update: 
The XPInstall engine side of the problem has been identified and a fix should be 
ready shortly to check in.  There is still work on the Mac install wizard side 
to be done to make chrome registration work.  Will post an updated ETA in the 
status whiteboard accounting for the latter mentioned work.

(*)  Install wizard portion of changes checked in by moi.
(*)  .jst file changes checked in by dveditz.  (Thanks Dan!)

Fixed.

[Samir Gehani]

This is not fixed!  The "chrome:installed-chrome.txt" file is still being placed 
in cwd rather than the targetDir!  Probably the same nsLocalFileMac 
"unintuitiveness."  Investigating.  Should be fixed within 24 hours.

I was smoking some serious crack.  This is fixed, in fact.  Sorry for the bug 
traffic.
