76797 - Shockwave 3D Goove engine fails to install

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 76771

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Peter Lubczynski]

* Uninstall Shockwave to be sure you got rid of the 3D Groove engine
** Re-install Shockwave
*** Visit a game on Shockwave.com that requires 3D Groove
**** You may need to alter your user agent string to get by Shockwave.com 
Netscape 6 blockage.

While trying to play a "3D" game on the Mac for the first time, there is a 
cryptic error:
Shockwave Error,
Xtra package download error 125

Meredith,
To help fix this, what does error 125 mean?

WORKAROUND:
Visit a page that needs 3D Groove in 4.x so it can "install". After 
installation, seems to work ok in nightlies.

i tried this with AlienX game on both platforms, On windows, I get the error in 
bug 76771..Upon right clicking outside the plugin ara and selecting RELOAD 
..relaunches the game and it works. So I guess this is same as bug 76771, like 
Peter guessed.
 On mac, I see the error of "extra package" download error 125 . changing OS 
:All.

marking this as a dup of 76771 since all these error messages are appearing 
randomly (while downloading 3d groove) or before/after that. Pls reopen if you 
consider this a seperate issue.
