I have tried to run Mozilla 0.9+ on the WorkspaceOnDemand (WSOD) client,
but has no success so far. The IBM Web Browser works fine.

So if I use the IBM Web Browser as a base for the FIT file, it still
crashes. Here is what I have done:

1) copied the files into z:\os2\Moz092
2) created a APPPOST.FIT file with the following contents:


?:\os2\Moz092\MOZREGISTRY.DAT
\\ANKUS2\D$\<USER>\Mozilla\MOZREGISTRY.DAT
?:\os2\Moz092\COMPONENT.REG
\\ANKUS2\D$\<USER>\Mozilla\COMPONENT.REG
?:\os2\Moz092\COMPONENTS\XPTI.DAT
\\ANKUS2\D$\<USER>\Mozilla\XPTI.DAT
?:\os2\Moz092\COMPONENTS\XPTITEMP.DAT
\\ANKUS2\D$\<USER>\Mozilla\XPTITEMP.DAT
?:\OS2\NSCP.INI
\\ANKUS2\w\<MACHINE>\NETSCAPE\NSCP.INI
?:\OS2\NSREG.DAT
\\ANKUS2\w\<MACHINE>\NETSCAPE\NSREG.DAT
?:\NETSCAPE\USERS
\\ANKUS2\w\<MACHINE>\NETSCAPE\USERS

3) created a public application for this

And this is what happens:

Mozilla enters the create new user dialog, but the folder location for
the user is empty, so I'm forced to pick a folder for it, and then
Mozilla chrash

WDGTOS2.DLL 0001:0000293b


In this case NETSCAPE was already installed, if I remove it Mozilla
crashes when it fails to load z:\os2\nsreg.dat.

Mike, can I expect Mozilla to run in WSOD ?

The only runnable rolution is to move Mozilla to a shared drive i.e
j:\os2\Moz092 and set the Mozilla_Home= f:\Mozilla (f: is homedir). Then
I have 3 files that is 'shared' at j:\os2\Moz092: component.reg,
xpti.dat and xptitemp.dat.

Can these three files be shared with all users ?. If not, why is they
not located in the MOZILLA_HOME location ?

A silly thing that I seldom understand is why can't omeone create a
software that's EASY to deploy in a networked environment. The
MOZILLA_HOME variable seems to be a good idea, if all the private files
is placed there.
