I have verfied this on an virtual PC (XP Pro SP3). TB 9 cannot be installed without errors.

Did the SxS configuration (i.e. exe manifest) change somehow in Tb9?

Comment 4

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

I can't reproduce this using Windows XP SP2, or Windows Vista.

Have you tried restarting after installing Thunderbird? Maybe there is some other process that is locking those dlls and stopping the update working properly.

I have the same problem, XP Pro SP3. Restarting does not help, installing in Windows safe mode is also unsuccessful (the same result). What works is downgrade to TB8.

I have found that three files are missing:

msvcm80.dll
msvcp80.dll
msvcr80.dll

if I copy these files into system32 folder then I can install TB9 on win2000 without problems, but this does not work on XP.

We aren't shipping the CRT.

Attachment: Add the Win32 redistributable directory to the mozconfigs

Somehow we missed shipping the Win32 Redistributables from Visual C++. We didn't detect this as it would only show on Windows versions less than Vista, and you'd probably only see it if you had a completely clean install, and you didn't have the dlls installed elsewhere (as it appears my XP system does).

If you're seeing this then you want to copy the following files from a Firefox installation:

Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest
msvcm80.dll
msvcp80.dll
msvcr80.dll

The patch I'm attaching updates our configuration files to specify the Win32 redistribution directory, which will then cause the build system to include the files in the build.

Include the try server mozconfig as well.

Comment 10

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

I've pushed these changes:

http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/rev/9de17b5d657d

We will be producing new 9.0 builds to fix this error. We are also working on a test build which I'll post details of soon, as it'd be useful if folks could double-check before we release.

Apparently, neither is Firefox.
At least in 3.6.24 or 8.01
Fortunately I have the redistributable package installed.

No, versions < 9 did ship our custom CRT, calling it mozcrt19.dll.

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

There is now a 9.0.1 version available that we are planning on pushing out in a few hours. I have confirmed it has the missing files:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/9.0.1-candidates/build1/win32/en-US/Thunderbird%20Setup%209.0.1.exe

If people who were seeing the issue can test this, that would be useful in confirming we've fixed the issue.

I am software developer by profession. I test all my setups on clean virtual machines, not on those I am working with.

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

Anyone been able to test the build I pointed to yet?

Comment 16

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

Ok, I've been able to locally confirm it works. One or two other confirmations would give us extra certainty though!

Comment 17

[Alice0775 White]

I can confirm.
Tb 9.0.1 works properly on newly installed Windows XP sp3.

My update to 9.0 worked without the error - XP-Pro SP3 FWIW

Yes, that can happen if you have MSVC installed, or the redistributable runtime libraries.

Appears that the patch works but there is some issue with Lighning disappearing.  I just got up so have not investigated at all

That's a separate issue, please see this thread:

(and if there's reproducible steps, I'd really like to get them on a bug).

I can confirm this, my calendars are also not displayed after update to 9.0.1.

Go into the addons manager and select the cog symbol followed by check for updates. That should fix it.

Also please don't comment on resolved bugs about different issues. Your comments are likely to get lost.

If you can consistently reproduce please file a bug with the steps to repeat.
