I downloaded , no problem.
executed the installer, no apparent problems.
I chose to delete the previous instalation, custom: no chatzilla, no mail &
news
profile manager automatically launched, I chose a profile.
Mozilla hangs on the rectangle window with the fire breathing gecko.
I've killed the process with task manager & tried relaunching the ap, same
problem.
I rebooted, downloaded a second time, installed again, same results

ssu, this is only happening with the installered version of the binary... if you
use a zip file of dist, things work great.
I'll try to compare the directories and see if i can spot glaring ommissions in
jars/dlls

the installer is not generating the all-foo.rdf files or the user-foo.rdf files
in chrome/ and the installed-chrome.txt is not going away after first 'launch'.
The zip is working fine, and moving it's .rdf's to the installer's directory
made the installer work fine.

installer worked fine on linux build 2000-08-29-08-m18
This also occurs on Commercial Win32 /2000-08-29-08-M18/ build

installed-chrome.txt isn't there? That's not right. Was it there on Monday?
If it was there on Monday, then I don't think it is the fault of jar packaging.
The only changes we made on Monday were to make-jars.pl and correcting some
jar.mn files. They don't touch that file. If it wasn't there on Monday, then
I'd point the finger of blame at the installer changes that warren did on Friday
night. I'm not that familiar with it, but I'm willing to lend a hand.

Sorry, it is there, and is not going away after first launch. If I understand
correctly, it should go away, and be replaced with the user-*.rdf and all-*.rdf
files, which is not happening.

installed-chrome.txt not going away means the failure/hang happens before the
chrome registry wakes up and does its stuff. This might be very useful in
narrowing down where the error is. Hyatt: when/where is the chrome registry
stuff kicked off?

Mark blocker: per kerz, there is no workaround so we don't have any builds
after Friday (8/25) that we can test AIM in.
