Build: Merlin JRE build 84.
Platform : Windows XP-PE / Win2000
Browser : NS 6.1


Embed tag based applets do not show up on Netscape 6.1 on Windows platform

1) Install Netscape 6.1 (FCS)browser
   (from netscape.com download site)
2) Install JRE.
     (/net/sqesvr/deployment3/merlin/beta/win32.b84)

   This will copy the NPOJI610.dll file to the Plugin dir. under <netscape install dir>

3) Invoke Browser and load URL
 http://javaweb.sfbay.sun.com/~vmanda/oji/javasoft/tags/Embed/combinations/Test_01.html

4) This page uses the Embed tag.
  
   The applet however does not load.
   Quit the browser
5) Go to <netscape install dir>
6) remove component.reg file
7) copy NPOJI610.dll file from <netscape dir.>/plugins to <netscape dir>/components dir.
8) Repeat step 3.

This time the Embed tag is recognized and the applet is loaded.


Looks like the registration mechanism has been changed, and it requires the NP*OJI.dll to be registered thru' regxpcom.
It has been reflected on Unix/Linux.
 
Maybe this should be made part ofinstaller as an easy fix to copy NPOJI610.dll to components dir.

I did see the same problem for build for 82/83, but categorized the same as a different bug which turned out to be an incorrect analysis.
