OK, I found one more case where this error is given. If you used the
DELAYED_CHROME attribute then instead of registering the chrome right away
we write to to the bin/chrome/installed-chrome.txt file and registration
occurs on the next start.
If we can't write to that file (a potential problem on Unix where people
mark their apps read-only) then that error is returned.
On the other hand, if the installation directory were read-only I would have
expected your install to fail earlier, at item 1 of 4 when you installed
app.jar itself.
If it's not the read-only directory problem please file a bug so we can
track this. Use the the "Installer: XPI Packages" component and please
attach your install script.
