60101 - Installation of N6 crash - Error - 998 : Could not load sdinst.dll

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect, P3)

Description

[Brett Stoppel]

Tried custom install to load only the Navigator w/o AOL ART extensions, 
Net2Phone, HP Printer Identifier Plugin, and Classic Skin. "Start Install" was 
the last step I could complete. After that, the following error occurred. 998 : 
Could not load sdinst.dll

bugzilla shouldn't be used for tracking Netscape 6 bugs last I heard.

However, punting to installer team to see what they want to do with this.

Netscape 6 bugs should be filed here:  
http://home.netscape.com/browsers/6/feedback/

However, for this bug, it looks like the download of N6Setup.exe might not have 
completed successfully.  It could have been corrupted on its way down.  I 
recommend downloading the file again.

You can also verify to see if N6Setup.exe does contain sdinst.dll by running the 
following in a DOS command shell:
  N6Setup.exe -u

This will extract N6Setup.exe's contents into the current directory.  If 
sdinst.dll does not get extracted, then N6Setup.exe is bad.

Marking this bug as INVALID for being filed in the wrong place.
