This browser included great innovations and an incredible potential making many webmasters and users plead for it. My theory is that the NS7.1 installer does a bunch of standard things: create directory here, copy files there, create registry keys here, set values there, then does these mysterious jar: things to tie itself together.There was a time when the war between browsers only had two rivals, Netscape and Internet Explorer, the product by Microsoft managed to win, but Netscape set the bases on which other products, like Firefox, have been developed.

Now I’m willing to bet, and process-of-elimination is on my side here, that that is where AdminStudio is failing to capture things the install does. Register Content: jar:resource:/chrome/comm.jar!/content/communicator-platform/ Register Content: jar:resource:/chrome/toolkit.jar!/content/global-platform/ What could be simpler? But then, I find something I don’t quite understand, although it looks a lot like the command used to run a java program in Store Registry Value String: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Netscape\Netscape Which are easy enough to read and replicate, and some entries like this which are similarly easy to read and replicate:Ĭreate Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Netscape Ĭreate Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Netscape\Netscape Installing: C:\Program Files\NS71\Netscape\res\throbber\anims17.gif Create Folder: C:\Program Files\NS71\Netscape\res\throbber Create Folder: C:\Program Files\NS71\Netscape\res It turns out that NS 7.1, being a nice old-fashioned script based installer leaves a little log behind. I am trying to make a Microsoft Installer Package from the Netscape 7.1 Installer. Thanks for you patience, if anyone made it to the end here! I do not know why Netscape can't start at this point. msi to say:ġ) go to c:\documents and settings\application data\mozilla\profiles\defaultģ) install the updated things for 7.1 to that directory Is there a way of building logic into the. So within the folder named Default, you have the user's profile, and the profile directory from the machine on which the capture was performed.Īgain, I don't know if this is the cause of Netscape not starting, but it seems like a good place to start. msi creates a folder with the same name as the profile name on the machine on which the install was captured. msi to a different machine, it invariably has a different folder under Default. The problem is that when AdminStudio captures the install, it records that the installer copies files to this directory.
Within that folder exist bookmarks, a directory called Chrome, which I believe contains files and settings related to the User Interface, Netscape preference files (.js), etc. That is a random folder name with an extension of. It creates a user profile underĬ:\Documents and Settings\%username%\ApplicationData\Mozilla\Profiles\Default I believe a big part of the problem may be that the Netscape Installer (from Netscape) does a non-standard thing.
Even trying to launch Netscp.exe from the command line from within the Netscape directory does not bring the process into the task manager. However, when running the captured MSI on a "clean" machine, similar to those in our environment, NS simply gets broken. After capturing the install, Netscape works fine, opens a web page asking you to register, etc.

I have attempted the re-packaging using both offline installers, and using both snapshot and installation monitoring methods.

Another note, the standard NS7.1 installer doesn't contain all the files, one has to get one of the two offline installers, the base install which contains only Flash 6 and McAffee Clinic activator as optional components, or the full install which includes a bunch of things, such as Sun Java, AOL Art Extensions, Viewpoint Media Player, Winamp 3, Canadian Region pack, etc. Netscape's documentation, and my observations show that the normal behavior of Netscape's installer in this situation is to install right over 7.0 and preserve the user's existing Netscape profile-this does work when you run the setup.exe manually. Users log on in the restricted user context.

Our enviornment is Windows XP Profession, fully patched and service packed. Users presently have Netscape 7.0, which is somewhat buggy and our web guy believes installing NS 7.1 will fix some problems. I'm using Adminstudio 5 with Value pack 1 to try to re-package Netscape 7.1 for distribution in my organization.
