All uses of "NULL" should be changed to 0 (zero) instead. This is exactly why we use "nsnull" in the Mozilla source instead of NULL, some unix compilers have only a C definition for NULL, not one compatible with C++. If raw 0 bothers you you can define nsnull in one of the wizard headers and use that.

Despite "Engine" in the file name this is not part of the XPInstall engine, this is part of the native Installer
