Install issue with Netscape 7.x on OS X

Hello,

I have a interesting problem with the XPInstall utility on the MAC OS X
environment and probably OS 9 - but I have not checked it.

First of all, the same install works on the Windows environment with
DLL's!!!

The install is corrupting the SHLB and XPT files when I install them to the
components directory. It looks as thought they are not being extracted out
of the XPI file properly. This is the way I create my XPI package.


jar cvfM xultoolbar.jar content/
jar -cvfM my.xpi install.js xultoolbar.jar Components/MyTypeLibrary.xpt
Components/MyLibrary.shlb

I have also used the "zip" utility to create the XPI install also.

Also.... I have tried to create the XPI without compressing the files and it
still fails.

What happens is it looks like is that the file is not being uncompressed
properly when it is extracted or something of that nature.

All other files, such as the overlay stuff, are installed properly.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Tom
