[wpkg-users] TB as default mail client, helper.exe way...

[Malte Starostik]

Not really an answer, but I've got an <exit code='2'/> in my firefox package as 
well.  That helper.exe is basically an NSIS installer and maybe after running 
/SetAsDefaultAppGlobal it quits with 2 because it didn't actually 
install/uninstall ff/tb.  Something like that.  You can use this as a starting 
point to dig into the details: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-
