This issue appeared during the Part III (mandatory update to different channel) of the viewer updater.
Looks related to https://github.com/secondlife/jira-archive-internal/issues/67696
@valeriiaaproductengine this crash occurred but the updater test still passed in iqa#176. Just to confirm, did the viewer still update and start up successfully when performing Part III of the updater test? Was the crash easy for you to reproduce? And lastly, does this only occur on mac?

This "Viewer failed to find localization and UI files." crash is present on release viewer and is very old, callstack changed due to release of gltf-2 viewer. Likely related to either updater or installer bugs, would be nice to have a scenario.
Thanks @akleshchev Knowing this crash is already present on the default release means that this is not considered a blocker for Maint X

This is an intaller/specific specifc crash (botched install?) and I don't see any commits like that in Maint-X, but still worth doublecheking since there might be an increase in frequency if something is wrong with installer.
I was unable to reproduce this. Crash also has not reproduced upon shipping. Will check again after more users have updated to the new build.
Hello @AtlasLinden! Update Part III of the updater was successful. This issue was reproduced only on OSX. Discovered while checking routine crashes in bugsplat - the timing of this issue coincided with the time of Part III of the updater test.
Similar stacks occurring on multiple viewer mac builds. Yet to appear on any 7.1.6 builds https://app.bugsplat.com/v2/crashes?c0=stackKey&f0=CONTAINS&v0=Second%20Life%20Release!LLAppViewer::initStrings()::$_84::operator()(int&database=SecondLife_Viewer_2018&sc=appVersion&so=desc
Rercently reproed potential cause locally, I started shutting down viewer and started intaller at the same time, installer started unpacking files before viewer was down which can easily cause issues for installer.
We have to wait for new crash reports without the phrase "Please reinstall viewer" but with the actual crash reason specified instead of this phrase
Moving the issue to the Needs Info
status
Can move to QA, simplest way to repro: install viewer, then remove strings.xml
The question is "Why user removes strings.xml?"
The question is "Why user removes strings.xml?"
User do not in most cases, but that's a good way to trigger new code for QA.
QA recently encountered a similar issue on Win, intaller failed to replace a file with a newer one, reinstall helped. So at least in some cases our installation process can be at fault (odly it sometimes happens on Mac too). We either need a more reliable installer or make current one more reliable (or at least check presence of critical files after installation).
