79408 - Windows Integration Dialog ???????

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect, P2)

Description

[Cedric Berger]

I donwloaded Mozilla 0.9 (talkback)
I unzipped it and clicked on "mozilla.exe"
A dialog poped-up starting with:
 "Windows is not currently setup to match your Windows Integration Preferences"

What the heck is that supposed to mean?
Then it continues:

 "This means that Windows will not use this application when you open all types
  of documents and Internet shortcuts that you have indicated".

I'm sorry, but I've not indicated anything at all. I just clicked on
an executable called mozilla.exe (talkback build).

In french, I would call the content of this dialog "charabia".
This dialog doesn't give a good first impression of mozilla.

dupe of 63870 or 69402 or perhaps even 72453 ...:)

I disagree with the duplicate.
I would have been 100% happy to have the text described
in 63870:

"Do you want to set up Windows so that it will use this application whenever 
you open the kinds of documents and Internet shortcuts that this application 
can view?"

This is Ok. The current dialog is 10 time worse.
Reopening

Ok, it would appear that something isn't working right the first time Mozilla 
starts. It's complaining that the settings it made have been changed, when it 
can't have made those settings because it hasn't run before. --> XP Apps.

[Cedric Berger]

Just a clarification:
I try Mozilla from time to time (every month or so).
Maybee he picked up settings from the previous try?

For some strange reason this was never fixed on the trunk.

Attachment: patch

Changes the text to match that of 6.2.. also makes the title of the dialog the
name of the application so as not to confuse the user as to which application
has loaded.

I believe it notices if You have netscape 6.x using preferences of any file type
and previous installations of mozilla.  So its finding it in the registry I believe.
