174649 - Lockup when clicking Browse during reinstallation.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Mozilla Localizations :: bs / Bosnian, defect)

Description

[Daniel]

Note: When I attempted to submit this report, I was told I need to choose a
component, but English was not among the listed Mozilla Localizations (I chose
Bosnian). Maybe that means that the default build is not a localization, but
then it shouldn't be required. Whatever the case, a more intuitive interface
would be nice, but that's not what I'm writing about ...


I originally installed Mozilla (v. 1.01) to my G: drive with no problems. I
later removed the hard drive from my computer containing the G: partition, and
attempted to install Mozilla to a different drive (G: no longer exists). At the
place in the installation where you choose the install location, the previous
installation directory on G: was shown. When I clicked Browse, the installation
locked up. I closed and repeated this twice.

I was able to work around the problem by removing the Mozilla registry entries
under SOFTWARE in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HEKY_LOCAL_MACHINE branches (I
didn't check to see which one makes the difference).

I'm closing this as invalid because it hasn't been confirmed, the reporter has already long ago worked around the problem, and I can't reproduce the problem.

If anybody is still experiencing this issue, please comment, and I'll reopen this bug.
