Build: 2001-05-16-12-trunk 1. Launch 6.0 RTM 2. Simulate a website upgrade. Open ftp://sweetlou/products/client/seamonkey/ macos/8.x/ppc/2001-05-16-12-trunk/update.html 3. Click Launch XPInstall button 4. Click OK button from Items to Install dialog 5. After update is completed, quit browser and relaunch RESULT: Menu items are missing from File and Edit menu. There are several files from 6.0 that remain that are not required for the updated build to run. EXPECTED RESULT: All menu items are present. "Orphaned files" from 6.0 are removed to not negatively impact the new update and free disk space.
From the attachment, the reference to the "source" directory refers to the current build (most recent) which has not been updated from 6.0. So there are a fair amount of files which are left over from an upgrade from 6.0. This affects SmartUpdate since this is simulating a upgrade from a website. Nominating for Beta. We need to decide how to handle "orphaned files". They can negatively impact an update. I believe that the Mac is impacted in this particular case.

Ccing Jeremy. This has not yet been triaged. This are serious problems for anybody updating from 6.0. I was missing Quit as a menu item. We need to address left over files. This problem directly impacts updating from website.

Two nits: 1> fFolderToDelete should be renamed fToDelete or some such since "f" stands for folder already. 2> Some comments in both patches have "delete misspelled as "delelete". Else, this looks like a good working patch to me. COntingent upon those two fixes r=sgehani.

chofmann noted a=chofmann for 0.9.1 in email but didn't mention it here. It looks fine to me too...
...but he wrote a comment in bug 81523, so maybe you should go by that?

This doesn't happen when I upgrade from 6.1, and seems to have similar results to what is described in 84516, so I am marking as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 84516 ***
