win32 build 2000043008 mozilla -installer brings up profile window as expected. click on a 4.x profile to migrate and it does nothing - no confirmation dialog, does not even create a users50 folder. 04/28 build did OK.
WORKSFORME, modulo loads of other bugs in this build - but I only have one profile. So, I just get the "Import your profile" button. Gerv
same behavior in build 043015 with multiple profiles in 4.61 1. Delete windows/mozregistry.dat (and mozver if exists) 2. Delete bin and Users50 directories 3. Unzip mozilla-win32.zip 4. mozilla -installer 5. Profile window comes up with the list of 4.61 profiles (3 of them) 6. Click on one, then [start mozilla]. The nav window comes right up without converting anything. Below are console messages: WEBSHELL+ = 1 has multiple monitor apis is 1 Move window by 570,479.5 (this is where profile window comes up) start with profile: earthlink ProfileManager : StartApprunner profileName passed in: earthlink~nsProfile WEBSHELL- = 0 Profile Manager : Profile Wizard and Manager activites : End WEBSHELL+ = 1 WEBSHELL+ = 2 assuming d&d is off for Personal Toolbar WEBSHELL+ = 3 WEBSHELL+ = 4 Setting content window JavaScript error: line 0: uncaught exception: [Exception...

Confirming bug, seeing this in 2000043015 also, and profile manager doesn't do the conversions either for me.

setting target milestone to M17 Don is on sabbatical won't be back till 6/6 to look at bugs.
Target Milestone: --- → M17
Whatever the fix for bug 37701 is may fix this as well, since Profile Mgr appears to be totally busted for this morning's build, too. I just haven't crashed. Will download the next win32 build and verify. BTW, saying I can't convert any profiles for at least a month pretty much sucks as a response. ;)
bug 37738 may be the one for which this is duplicate- or vice versa that is marked fixed- will comment here when I test
cool, thanks Grace!
fixed in build 2000050208
marking resolved fixed for Don per comment and testing on this build plus 2000-05-02-15
