169467 - Installer should ask whether to retry download of optional components if the download fails

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[timeless]

(from my dad)
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823 Netscape/7.0

A. He did a full install - after bug 169460, we found at that 113% wasn't enough.

B. It seems that Java failed a crc check and therefore in addition to the 32mb
we had already downloaded, we needed another 11mb to get java *again*.

I'm going to file a few bugs based on this.
Issues:
2. If an *optional* component fails there should be an option to /skip/ it.

Mozilla does not include java.

Bugs about Netscape 7 should be filed at netscape.com

Henrik, this bug is about "2. If an *optional* component fails there should be
an option to /skip/ it."

Maybe a summary change will make things clearer.

Old summary:
Netscape 7.0 Installer "Some files have failed the CRC check and are being
downloaded again."...

New summary:
Installer should ask whether to retry download of optional components if the
download fails
