Re: XForms on mozilla can't get it to work

Hi Martyn,

Hmmm.  I installed the 02/05 nightly from 
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2005-02-05-17-trunk/ 
and the xforms.xpi from 
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2005-02-05-17-trunk/windows-xpi/ 
and it worked fine for me.  I did get the normal saying, "To protect 
your computer, Firefox prevented this site from installing software on 
your computer." and then had to click the button to "allow" the install 
to proceed.  Then I closed all the mozilla/firefox windows on my machine 
and started up the 02/05 nightly and XForms worked fine.

Please check for the file 'xforms.dll' under the extensions directory 
where your profile is stored.  On my machine, it was in: C:\Documents 
and Settings\aaron\Application 
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\197j4nhp.default\extensions\{cf...}\components\xforms.dll. 
  There should also be a schemval.dll in the same directory.  That is 
how you could be sure that xforms.xpi installed successfully.  If you 
didn't install a nightly but rather built your own, you should see 
xforms.dll and schemval.dll under your dist/bin/components directory.
