User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0; T312461) Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130 I installed Mozilla 1.2.1 over previous installation of Mozilla (I don't think the version number matters). Tried to do Custom Install. However, Custom Install options screen (Mozilla Setup - Select Components) gave me no ability to change selections: ALL selections were selected, and ALL selections were grayed out, meaning that I could not change them. After installation, I repeated installation. Same thing: Custom Install options screen (Mozilla Setup - Select Components) shows ALL selection selected and ALL selections grayed out, meaning that no customization of install can be performed. Downloaded mozilla-win32-1.2.1-installer.exe on 16Dec02/0730am. During installation, says I'm installing version 1.2.1.2002113012. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reinstall 2. 3. Actual Results: See Details. Expected Results: Allowed for customization of installed components.
The Installation Notes recomment installing to an empty dir. In other words uninstalling old builds first. Resolving as dup of bug 82450. See also bug 161508 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 82450 ***

Out of curiosity, I UNINSTALLED my Mozilla installation, and then REINSTALLED it (mozilla-win32-1.2.1-installer.exe, downloaded 16Dec02-0730am). The Custom Install options page then worked correctly. After installation, I reran the installer AGAIN, and then the Custom Install options page did NOT work correctly, i.e., it did the same thing I described before. Obviously, then, uninstalling a Mozilla installation before installing a newer release is a solution. Perhaps such a solution might be built into the installer, i.e., forcing you to uninstall existing Mozilla installation before installing a newer release.

installing over an older version is considered an 'upgrade'- and the reason for components being grayed out- those files are 'required' to force new versions- it works in commercial product but not failsafe for Mozilla- as not enough testing gets done between nightlies and milestones
