hi,

i want to try out stand alone xpinstall, i.e. xpinstall from the command
line & running it as an exe. So I compiled the code present in
\mozilla\xpinstall\wizard\windows\test folder(i have read in a previous post
that this is the code for stand alone xpinstall).
After compiling succcessfully, i ran the .exe file created by the
compilation(a file called Testxpi.exe) However this gives me the  following
error:

###!!! ASSERTION: You can't dereference a NULL nsCOMPtr with operator->().:
'mRa
wPtr != 0', file ..\..\dist\include\nsCOMPtr.h, line 652
###!!! Break: at file ..\..\dist\include\nsCOMPtr.h, line 652

This error is thrown because it fails to create a log file. I feel that in
the source code given for xpinstall there is an error & an initialization
which is required for maintaining a log file is not done.

Can anyone offer any suggestions or help? Can anyone tell me why i'm getting
this error or how do I eliminate this error?

thanx.
