97435 - Blackwood 1.0 causes missing entry point in xpcom.dll [GetterCopies@nsXPIDLString]

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[harry_evans]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801
BuildID:    20010801

Installed the Blackwood_1.0_win32 pluglet package.  Now when I click help->About
Plug-ins I get an error dialog of

mozilla.exe Entry Point Not Found

The procedure entry point ??0GetterCopies@nsXPIDLString@@QAE@AAV1@@Z could not
be located in the dynamic link library xpcom.dll

Path and Classpath are set correctly.  I have also duplicated this error on a
WinNt SP5 box as well, running the same version of everything.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install 20010801 on Win2K or WinNt4
2.  Install win32 version of blackwood pluglet package at
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/blackwood/downloads/install-trigger.html
3.  Add path and classpath settigns as specified in the blackwood readme.
4.  Select help->About Plug-ins
5.  Also, no pluglets are recognized.  Try stuff in Mozilla/JavaDev/Misc.  They
all fail.

Actual Results:  Error dialog box appears:
mozilla.exe Entry Point Not Found

The procedure entry point ??0GetterCopies@nsXPIDLString@@QAE@AAV1@@Z could not
be located in the dynamic link library xpcom.dll


Expected Results:  Show plugins with no errors.
Run pluglets in misc directory

This might belong under xpcom instead, but I put it in xplib due to the value of
the error string produced.

dveditdz had busted me for duping similar bug 96095 against bug 94108, so
Installer -> XPI Packages for more triage.
What is probably going is that you installed 0.9.3 on top of an older version
like 0.9.2.  If this isn't the case, then this is something completely new.

Perhaps that version of Blackwood is simply not compatible with the version of
mozilla that you have. The Blackwood people develop against old milestones
rather than staying current with the trunk.

Yes, for instance bcjavastubs.dll is looking for
?NS_NewGenericModule@@YAIPBDIPAUnsModuleComponentInfo@@P6AXPAVnsIModule@@@ZPAPAV2@@Z
but the current xpcom.dll signature is
?NS_NewGenericModule@@YAIPAUnsModuleInfo@@PAPAVnsIModule@@@Z

Bugzilla mail is running really slow, I didn't even know jband had responded.

This is "invalid" as a mozilla bug, but I'll reassign to edburns to see what he
wants to do with it on the Blackwood side. When you see that error it means
windows did not load the library due to the reported errors, which is why it did
not work after that.

You will need either to revert to an older Mozilla that Blackwood is compatible
with, or get a newer version of Blackwood compiled against the latests Mozilla
headers.

Updating summary to include 'Blackwood'; confirming

Try building your Mozilla from sources obtained using the Netscape61_RELEASE 
tag.

Published blackwood xpi package is obsolete.
It was removed from mozilla.org last week.
Currently blackwood avaliable only in source form.

I suggest to close this bug as invalid.

I recieved a simmilar error upgrading from Mozilla 0.9.3 to 0.9.5 on Win2k. Here
is the complete text of the dialog as it appears in event viewer:

Application popup: NSPR:EventReceiver: Mozilla.exe - Entry Point Not Found : The
procedure entry point ?ToNewUnicode@nsString@@QBEPAGXZ could not be located in
the dynamic link library xpcom.dll.
This occurred on startup immediately following the install of mozilla 0.9.5,
complete install, enabling the quicklaunch option.

[Wesley Tanaka]

is this related to bug 96095?

Comment 11

[Phillip A Remaker]

I also got this error installing 0.9.5 on top of 0.9.3 onm Windows 2000 SP2

At End of install of build 0.9.5 aka 2001101117

The procedure entry point ?ToNewUnicode@nsstring@@QBEPAGXZ could not be located 
in the dynamic link library xpcom.dll

Seems like it happens when the "Quick Launch" is launched for the first time, 
since when I roll over the quick launch icon, that icon disappears.  It does 
restart itself, though.

this bug is invalid. If you get other "entry point" missing, during install of
mozilla please file seperate bugs. This bug is about getting error when
installing blackwood.
