454804 - Component Load Error upon launching SeaMonkey or component

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[L. Pennington]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8.1.16) Gecko/20080702 SeaMonkey/1.1.11
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8.1.16) Gecko/20080702 SeaMonkey/1.1.11

Upon launching SeaMonkey, I get the following error message dialog box:

Title bar:  Minimize To Tray - Component Load Error
Box Message: Cannot find binary component
Icon in Box: Yellow triangle with ! exclamation
Buttons:  OK


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch SeaMonkey from system tray icon
2. When error message appears, click its OK button to make component (e-mail or browser) appear
3. The correct component (e.g. e-mail client) window will finally open normally, but not until that error message is removed by clicking its OK.

Actual Results:  
Component will open normally upon clicking the error message's OK button. No noticeable effects afterward.

Expected Results:  
Just opened the component window without displaying a message requiring clicking an OK button.

This problem has persisted on my Win98se machine since version 1.1.14; current version is 1.1.19

Did you install any extensions? 
Can you try (while SeaMonkey is closed) deleting the XUL.mfl file and see if this changes anything? It is located under C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\[your profile name]. 
If this does not help, can you then try to delete the chrome.rdf file in your profile? See http://seamonkey.ilias.ca/profilefaq/#locations for your profile location.

Reopen if you can reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.13.
