62009 - No indication on what's going on

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 46318

(Core Graveyard :: Installer: XPInstall Engine, defect, P3)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

if you with mozilla click on:
ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/netscape6/english/6.0/windows/win32/xpi/talkback.xpi
you just get a spinning mozilla logo and no indication on what's going on...
The spinning never stops.

Leaving aside the obvious bug, clicking on random talkback installs is a very 
BAD thing to do. The key thing about talkback is not just the 
reporting software, but the matching of the exact target software with symbol 
tables back on the host. The talkback version you install MUST MATCH the 
browser version you have installed or any reports will be useless garbage.

As to the bug, is it a duplicate of bug 46318? If so let me know we can close 
it, if not we'll need a bit more detail.

Why be so wishy-washy? it sounds like a duplicate to me, so I'm closing it. 
This way chances are none of us have to comment on this bug again, and if it 
turns out not to be a duplicate, well, then, you would have had to edit the bug 
anyway to add more detail.
