Hi,
I am having problems getting my plugin to auto-update like
SmartUpdate does in Netscape 4.76.
I am running Netscape 6 [ Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0;
en-US; m18) Gecko/20010131 Netscape 6/6.01 ]
I can install the plugin from the xpi file on a clean machine, but
when I change the version number and try to update the plugin, then I
run into three problems:
a) The call to InstallTrigger.getVersionInfo dies in the Javascript.
b) Calls to InstallTrigger.compareVersion ALWAYS return -4, even if
the versions are EXACTLY the same, and so the plugin is always
updating even when it does not need to.
c) Calls to InstallTrigger.compareVersion using a null version string
reult in ALWAYS updating as well, at least so far in my testing.
Anyone have these problems? Anyone know of a workaround??
TIA.
Sheri.
I have converted the code to use XPInstall instead of SmartUpdate
Trigger class. Currently, with my version of Netscape 6 [ Mozilla/5.0
(Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; m18) Gecko/20010131 Netscape
6/6.01 ] I can install the plugin using my .xpi file
