User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; PL; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; PL; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910 When you have a localized Mozilla build which doesn't yield en-US Shockwave Player will not install. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install localized Mozilla build which puts in Windows Registry anything else than en-US (like from here: http://mozillapl.org/index.php?name=MozillaPLMirrors&newlang=eng) 2. Run Shockwave Player installer from http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/welcome/ - a dialog will popup. 3. Download installer, exit Mozilla, start installation. Actual Results: Installer will not recognize non-English Mozilla build even if you manually point it to the Plugins folder. Installer will not start. Expected Results: Shockwave plugin gets installed. Workaround - 1) Hit Browse while you'll be at the browser list in Shocwave installer, 2) point it to the Plugins directory of localized Mozilla build, 3) change file name: mozilla.exe to netscape.exe 4) Installation will be completed. If you have previous English version you can also manually copy plugins files.

Appears to be a valid bug. Marked CONFIRMED.

Ever confirmed: true
still an issue?
Yep, it's even worse as one can not choose alternative browsers during install. So the only way to install plugin right now is to manually move its file to Mozilla/Plugin directory (np32dsw.dll in case it helps anyone). What happens right now Installer starts and proceeds to the end with no errors but the plugin is not installed to Mozilla/Plugins directory.
