Douglas: I believe the chrome.manifest entry should look like this …

content HelloWorld chrome/content/HelloWorld/

Also, your XUL file was missing the XUL namespace

xmlns=”http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul”>

I made all the changes, including the stylesheet one, and tried again but it wouldn’t launch the window. However, something is being launched and the xulrunner process is running. So you are closer. When I have time I’ll try and track it down to the end, unless you beat me there.

Hi,
I’ve corrected that :

In the HelloWorld.xul (I forgot the last “t” of “stylesheet”)
And I changed the chrome.manifest to “content HelloWorld chrome://chrome/content/HelloWorld/
” but it still doesn’t work.
If you have any idea?

Douglas: On first glance, it appears your chrome.manifest is trying to access a JAR file, while in fact you have flat chrome. I’ll try it out later to confirm what the actual issue is.

Hi,
I still can’t get my application working :(
Can you help me ?
Here is a tar.gz with my xul file.
HelloWorld.xulapp.tar.gz
Thanks for all.
Douglas.

Daniel, it’s the first method you list, pointing to application.ini. All that install-app does is copy the files over to the install location, whether they are compressed or not.

How does one do install-app with a flat structure?

./xulrunner –install-app ./applicationdir/application.ini ?
./xulrunner –install-app ./applicationdir/ ?

Or something else?
