Current "Gotchas" for Trunk Testers

Since 2007-08-09 Switching views with View | Layout will immediately crash TB This is a known Core problem.
Workaround: Don't switch views

Since 2007-08-13 You will need to "select" an app to call a link.
This is stored in mimeTypes.rdf but is not editable in the TB UI
Workaround: Don't save the selection, or backup your mimetypes.rdf.

Since 2007-08-29 Some winxp users will crash on startup depending on your XP version and environment.
Workaround:
Download this free windows update to your winxp
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en
Brief Description
The Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86) installs runtime components of Visual C++ Libraries
required to run applications developed with Visual C++ on a computer that does not have Visual C++ 2005 installed.
Please note that this component is not updated with the normal windows update method

My nightlies have been running fine for the last few days, however I see a burst of crashes in crash-reporter.
http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/l ... 400x283106
These seem to have a different crash signature from what we have been seeing.

I don't see a bug report related to this new "crash"

JOJ0 · Post by **JOJ0** » September 13th, 2007, 1:08 am

The last two nightly builds are crashing ot startup for me normal and safe mode. I even tried this :

You might try an alternative to upgrading your windows VC runtime.
This worked for Seamonkey users, so try copying the following files from the Thunderbird folder to /components
Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest
msvcm80.dll
msvcp80.dll
msvcr80.dll

But it doesn't help.
I'm running Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9a8pre) Gecko/2007080807 Thunderbird/3.0a1pre Mnenhy/0.7.5.0 ID:2007090904 as the last that is starting up.
Windows Vista Ultimate
Not tested with clean profile.

With the starting date of your problem, I don't think it's related to the VC8 issues.
I don't use Vista, so can't help there.
You might want to make a comment in:
# 392931 [mozilla.org] - Move Thunderbird Windows Build to the New Reference Platform [Win]
Because I think that fits your timeframe.

Old post deleted.
Yep you are right. 10.09.2007 is working for me but 11,12,13,14,15 are not. So it must be related to this bug.

I don't have a lot of feeds set up in my branch TB, but what I have seem to be working fine in:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.7pre) Gecko/20070917 Thunderbird/2.0.0.7pre ID:2007091703
No errors in error console.

Here's 2 examples

After instaling VC8 CRT redist SP1 latest TB nightly starts ok.

alta88 · Post by **alta88** » September 17th, 2007, 5:15 pm

latest nightly won't start - gets to about 12m in task manager and stops. started with -Profilemanager but never gets to that dialog.

winxp sp1. the MSVC CRT 2005 package had already been long installed and trunk worked as of a week or so ago.

Some very strange symptoms on this bug, see
# 396522 [Thunderbird] - Profile Manager won't start up since Thunderbird trunk 2007/9/11 build on MS Win-XP [Win]
And:
# 394190 [Core:Build Config] - seamonkey/thunderbird not starting up due to CRT/manifest issues in components [Win]

thanks joe, i've made a comment in the latter bug. none of the commented on solutions work for me.

alta88 · Post by **alta88** » September 18th, 2007, 9:03 pm

it turns out that after installing the msvcrt sp1, Tb needs to also be reinstalled (i did an uninstall first rather than installing over the existing trunk).
