53666 - N6 crashes after download

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 53353

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect, P3)

Description

[Jaime Rodriguez, Jr.]

Build ID: 20000092116
Reproducible: Always (for builds since Wednesday morning)

1. Click on N6Setup.exe from sweetlou
2. Click on Install button from SmartDownload dialogue
3. Select Custom install (do NOT install Sun Java, Net2Phone, Lang packs, or HP 
printer)

Results: Recieve an "illegal operation" error after the application has been 
installed, and attempts to launch.

Note: Error dialogue does not go away after you click on Close (stays on top). 
You can still operate programs, and even launch/run N6 with the dialogue on the 
screen (it never goes away until you reboot).

Adding dogfood and nsbeta3 keywords. This has happened to Todd and Chris, too! 
This is preventing mutlitple people from using the product.

putting on dogfood-plus radar.  Ya' gotta' be able to install if you're going to
eat the dogfood.

This is essentially a dup of http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53353
It's dying on exit of xpcom, which the installer is dependent on.

This only happens on Win98 and Win95.  NT4 and NT2000 are unaffected.

The install process actually completes, then crashes.  So everything should 
already be installed by the time the crash happens.  This should not be a QA 
blocker, but this bug (or rather the above bug) should still be a PR3 blocker.
