Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 452162

(Thunderbird :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Mirela]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.16

I had 2.0.015 version of T-bird installed. It did an automatic update, and failed - kept rebooting endlessly with an error message that not all files could be updated. I decided to completely uninstall T-bird and do a fresh installation. It gave me mozMapi32.dll error message.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Remove T-bird using Add/Remove utility in Control Panel
2. Download fresh T-bird 2.0.0.16
3. Try to install
or
1. Try updating from 2.0.0.15 to 2.0.0.16
Actual Results:  
No email reader!!! :-(

Expected Results:  
It should have updated/finished installation...

I don't have any add-ons or themes (they're default), I use Win XP SP3 with full access to all files/folders (admin-level account). Anti-virus and firewall were disabled before the installation. Moving the personal folder already containing my accounts didn't help.
