54991 - Show "Installation completed" dialog at end of install

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, enhancement)

Description

[Samir Gehani]

Spun off from bug 54975, per sfraser:
Once installation is complete, we now fire up the installed app with no user
intervention. I think this is bad. I think the installer should have a final
dialog that says "Installation is complete. To run <appname> now, click ...."
etc. I'm sure there are many users who would like to take defensive action
before running the app for the first time.

It's currently running the way some folks want it. Resetting priority until we
get a call, CC'ing Kevin, and nominating nsbeta1 due to former priority (we need
to decide one way or the other)

I strongly agree that automatically firing up the app at the end of installation 
is wrong. Many people will want to take "defensive actions" before running NS6 
for the first time (e.g. backup prefs or whatever).

Hmm, such a dialog would also help protect the install team from 
misplaced Profile/Migration/Activation/Startup bugs.

Mozilla CFM build is dead; should this bug go with it?

Quoth Steve Dagley: "The Mac installer code was never Carbonized and there is no
intention to ever change that."
