Hello,

I'm trying to install Mozilla 1.2.1 on MacOS 8.6 (french).
The installer stops with a -229 error. Here is the log :

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
file:///Macintosh%20HD/Desktop%20Folder/Mac/Mozilla/Mozilla%20Full%20Installer/Installer%20Modules/xpcom.xpi
--  08/11/2003 11:53:22

    Mozilla XPCOM
    -------------

    ** initInstall: 0

    Install **FAILED** with error -229  --  08/11/2003 11:53:22

I also tried version 1.0.2 and this time the error is -201. Here is the log :

Delete all former mozilla installs, or just run the installer twice.
I would also recommend that you instal 1.3.1, available at

Hello,
I indeed tried wamcom-131-macos9-20030723.sit, but with a major problem
which prevents me from using it : when started for the first time, the profile
manager shows and lists my Netscape Comm. 4.5 profiles. Starting one of those profiles
gives a message stating that the profile will be converted. OK, but nothing
happens. Then, I try to create a new profile. This time, the text area where
one has to enter the profile's name doesn't work (backspace and delete
buttons are fine, but letters, digits, space bar, etc, don't work !).
Same thing with wamcom-131-macos9-20030710.sit.

I also tried the unofficial 1.3 Mac classic build made by Hirotoshi HARUNAGA
(http://www.t3.rim.or.jp/%7Eharunaga/mozilla-macos9). Still the same problem
(but, this time, the previous Netscape 4.5 profile aren't even listed).

BTW, I tried several official Mozilla versions (1.0.2, 1.1, 1.2b, 1.2.1) :
in all cases, the installer fails (-22x error).

Last thing : I have no tools to build Mozilla myself.

Oh yes, I don't know if it's important, but I'm using french MacOS 8.6 (G3 300 MHz,
plenty of RAM).

Seems that I'm doomed with Mozilla.

You shouldn't install a new Mozilla over an old Mozilla Folder.

And see

Hello,

No no, I don't have a previous version of Mozilla. During my different
and unsuccessfull tests, I always delete what has just been created.
I'm not joking : I get this -201 error with version 1.0.2 but there is nothing
already installed !

And how do you explain the -229 error with version 1.2.1 ?
