82430 - missing module in xpcom.dll

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

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

Description

[Ben Guthrie]

I get the following message when I start mozilla:

The procedure entry point ??_7nsLocalString@@6B@ could not be located in the 
dynamic link library xpcom.dll

I press ok, mozilla loads.  I am getting crashes when I "press" "buttons" on a 
web page, such as the login button on bugzilla - filling this out using NS 4.76

Build ID: 2001052304

Windows NT Version 4.0 ( Build 1381: Service pack 4)

forgot to mention, talkbacks were generated & sent on the mentiond button push 
crashes

crashes are probably dupe of 82359

Not sure, why is this a bug in the xp installer engine?

Comment 4

What are we playing with here? Did you build this? Is it a specific build you
pulled from the nightlies (if so, which?). My guess is that we have some linker
issue, there is nothing about installer that would cause this. Give me some more
information, and some dates and version numbers, so I can figure out what to do.

further info:

last dl was from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/

I've DL'd & installed twice now just incase the problem was with the DL

the file is mozilla-win32-installer-sea-talkback.exe

which was saved to my hard drive at 5:28 PM EDT 

the browser bar says Build ID: 2001052304 - as noted above

I fell back to my last know good build:
mozilla-win32-installer-sea-talkback.exe 23-May-2001 07:48   8.4M  

and got the recurring error, so I deleted prog. files\mozilla & all it's subs and
reinstalled.  problem did NOT appear.

now running 
mozilla-win32-installer-sea-talkback.exe 24-May-2001 07:22   8.4M  

with no problems.

sorry, I should have deleted mozilla completely when the problem first occured
