Build: 090400 OS: Win XP RC1 Ja On Windows XP, running browser with profilemanager option on command prompt doesn't bring up profilemanager window. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open commmand prompt window. 2. Go to the folder where the executable is located. 3. Run command, like "netscp6.exe -profilemanager", it doesn't bring up Profile Manager window. I don't see this problem on W2K and win98.
It only happens when there is only one existing profile.
It should still bring up the Profile Manager- do you have turbo/quick launch on?
I see this problem with Quick Launch turned off, which is the default option. With Quick Launch turned on, profile manager can be launched even with only one existing profile.
I'm having the same problem with 95 OSR2. I only have one profile (which is why I want to bring up Profile Manager, to create/import more).
Nominating for nsbranch.

Summary: ProfileManager option doesn't bring up profile manager window on XP → WinXP: ProfileManager option doesn't bring up profile manager window on XP
I cannot reproduce this on XP 2600 I had a clean system - no Netscape 4.x profiles, no 6.x profiles Installed build for 9/7 Netscape launched with default profile as expected brought up DOS window ran netscp6 -profilemanager from install directory launched with Profile Manager I can reproduce if I have pref set for turbo and turbo is running
Grace. can you reproduce when there is only one profile with quick launch is turned off? My case is: I have one 4.x profile first, then run 6.x converts the 4.x profile to 6.x profile, after that I'm unable to bring up profile manager. I have to turn on quick launch or have another 4.x profile.
I cannot reproduce unless I have turbo(QuickLaunch) turned on I don't think it makes a difference if the profile is migrated or not- as long as only one profile exists- adding Conrad to cc list as he may have some insights to turbo behavior and its affect on profilemanager option
Now I can only reproduce this problem with quick launch enabled, same as Grace. But I did see this problem with quick launch turned off, since when I reported this bug, I ran 6.x with a profile migrated from 4.x, and quick launch is turned off by default with a migrated profile. Something must have happened when I played with quick launch feature.
Found the problem and the fix is in patch for bug 88844. The problem as I found it and fixed it was this: After the initial launch with Quicklaunch (which may have happened at Windows startup time), if you had only 1 profile, launching again with -profilemanager did not bring up the profile mgr UI. It worked properly if you had > 1 profile at the time of the initial launch.
Depends on: 88844
Changing summary because has nothing to do with XP and changing component to back end.

-> 0.9.4 Not that it really matters because it will be fixed by bug 88844 but keeping this one alive since it's valid and not a dup.

Peter/Sol - If Turbo is in, we should nsbranch+ all related bugs required to meet the requirements for this round.
> With 09-11-05 0.9.4 build If you're talking about the branch build, yes it's still happening. Bug 88844 has not gone into the branch. Since the fix is in 88844, marking invalid.
