Re: [Htmlvalidator-help] Vista compatibility

From: Marc G. <mg...@sk...> - 2007-01-17 22:18:15

Can you please do this:
- download the xpi file
- rename it to .zip
- unzip it
- stop Firefox
- copy the file .autoreg to Program Files/Mozilla Firefox too.
- start Firefox

Then if it doesnot work, go in Tools/Error console ? Is there any tidy 
message there ?

Thanks,

Marc

  Hi Kyle,=20

  Yes probably,=20

  Marc, aren't you installing it under the $HOME (C:\Documents and =

aways have writing access, as you do with linux?

From: Marc G. <mg...@sk...> - 2007-01-17 22:01:18

Yes, I do install everything in this profile directory in version 0.795. 
This is why I do not understand exactly what is up but I have this theory:

    * that Vista does not allow Normal users to install binary on their
      machine.
    * but the extension has to be installed by the end-user who use it
    * but seen the extension contains a binary, it does not work
