163354 - readme.txt and license.txt missing

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020818

I did a "browser only" installation.  Shorcuts were created pointing to
readme.txt and license.txt in "C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla".  Neither
file is in there.  There is no readme.txt at all under that directory tree, but
a license.txt exists in "C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\Setup\".

Missing readme and license happens in NT 4.0 also.
There is a readme and license icon in
START->Program Files->Mozilla->readme.txt(and license)
right where is should be, but no files.

Actually, this should be all that is needed.

We need to put the readme and license in the bin directory.

All the other code is already in place to make this happen.

If you don't need that OS2 ifdef, remove it before you check it in. r=cls

I was told that README.TXT was only for the top three platforms, so if I wanted 
OS/2 readme stuff, it couldn't go there.

So other platforms that want READMEs will have to put them somewhere else and 
then have an if to copy them instead of README.TXT.

I put this there as kind of an example as to what the right thing to do would 
be.

I'm going to try to get permission to check in a readme.os2 so this code will 
actually work.
