Did you see this exchange elsewhere in the ng? Here is my most recent
posting about the barley example, in which I fess up to what may have
been an error in the install script. Let me know if this is the problem.
From the thread "new xulnote: Creating Packages in Mozilla"

Sorry. It looks like there may be another typo/error in my install.js
script.
I believe that the install.js at the top of the xpi should read:
registerChrome(PACKAGE | DELAYED_CHROME,
getFolder("Chrome","barley.jar"), "content/");
instead of:
registerChrome(PACKAGE | DELAYED_CHROME,
getFolder("Chrome","barley.jar"), "content/barley/");
This line was telling Mozilla--via the installed-chrome.txt file that
builds the RDF--to look for the contents.rdf file at
barley.jar/content/barley/, which doesn't exist. Having updated this in
the script in this way, I was able to successfully install the xpi on a
separate machine.
Thanks a lot for hanging in there as I iron this stuff out.
