Steps to reproduce:
1) Create a custom build installer with an ftp URL put in.
2) Select everything inside Core dir and upload them to a dir on an ftp server. 
3) Download the network (stub) installer, N6Setup.exe and launch it.

==> Shortly after stub installer starts to download Netscape installer files,
it stops with a warning "xpcom.xpi cannot be found".

Observed in CCK 6.1RTM, 6.1 PR1 and 6.0.

Hi, Shruti:


Regarding the config.ini diff, please do this:

  1. Run CCK6.1 RTM to produce a ftp download build to be hosted on 
     ftp://ftp.foo.com/n6.1/download
  2. Run the CCK6.1 build you just fixed to produce a ftp download build 
     to be hosted on ftp://ftp.foo.com/n6.1/download
  3. Diff the config.ini from (1) and (2)



Thanks

I entered the ftp location as: 
ftp://jazz.netscape.com/users/shrutiv/publish/ftpinstall
Running a diff gives the same output as my previous attachment. However I have 
attached the diff, most of it is just the difference between "n6.1b1" and "n6.1" 
strings, except for the last statement.
