User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0 (Beta/Release)

Steps to reproduce:

I installed Lightning 3.3 on Thunderbird 31.0/Windows 7 SP 1 Home Premium 64 Bit German version. This Windows version is restricted by policies so that a standard user can run programs that are stored in "Program files", "Program files (x86)" or %SystemRoot%. This is outlined in the 20 years old "Designed for Windows" rules of Microsoft.


Actual results:

When I clicked on "Neuer Termin" (New Date) nothing happened. The reason is that the Lightning installation puts the file calbasecomps.dll not in "Program files", "Program files (x86" or %SystemRoot% but in the path %ProfilesDir%\Users\<User name>\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\<Random Profile Name>\extensions\{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}\components\. This is a violation of the 20 years old rules "Designed for Windows" of Microsoft!


Expected results:

I would expect that clicking "Neuer Termin" (New Date) resulted in opening a window in that I could enter my date information.
