That is a random folder name with an extension of. 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. The problem is that when AdminStudio captures the install, it records that the installer copies files to this directory. msi to a different machine, it invariably has a different folder under Default. msi creates a folder with the same name as the profile name on the machine on which the install was captured. 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 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. Thanks for you patience, if anyone made it to the end here! I do not know why Netscape can't start at this point. I am trying to make a Microsoft Installer Package from the Netscape 7.1 Installer. 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.

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. 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. This browser included great innovations and an incredible potential making many webmasters and users plead for it.
