In my dual boot computer, software was loaded in local mode which I use out of office. In office I boot to network mode and if thnderbird has a software update it automaticallly loads it. This but the software load in a continious loop.  I had to boot local, software tries to laod and fails and reports write error to mozmapi32.dll.  Had to delete this file for software load to work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.you do a auto software update, not controlled by user
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
You need a dual boot computer where thunderbird is given access in the 2nd mode by giving it its path to log in by

Expected Results:  
the software update stays in a continious loop of trying to load until I delete mozmapi32.dll

Known about dual boot systems and be able to write to mozmapi32.dll correctly
