Build: 2001-06-07-06-0.9.1(WIN), 2001-06-07-03-0.9.1(MAC), 
2001-06-07-04-0.9.1(LINUX)

1. From 6.0/6.01, open update.html for current release.  For Windows, 
ftp://sweetlou/products/client/seamonkey/windows/32bit/x86/2001-06-07-06-0.9.1/u
pdate.html
2. Click Launch XPInstall button
3. Click OK button from Items to Install
4. Check Install.log from Netscape directory

RESULT:
Install.log says the platform is "unix".  It is not clear if the proper 
information is installed.  Install.platform is used in the install script, but 
6.0/6.01 XPInstall engine does not know this property.

EXPECTED RESULT:
"windows" is the correct platform detected in this example.  The correct files 
are installed.

Nominating for beta.  I am not sure if all the correct files are installed.  I 
don't know the impact of this error, but it seems definitely wrong.  We need som 
e international input to help measure the severity and impact of this 
discrepancy.

[Sean Su]

this is fixed.

Comment 3

Jimmy, this  is fixed, verified on Mac and Windows- and code.
The update.html for Linux only updates to beta1 so I did not want to verify for
Linux until we discussed
