183042 - Installer goes into a loop when pressing "Browse.." if the previous installation point to a drive that's not available anymore

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Gerald Huang]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826 WebWasher 3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

When installing Mozilla 1.1 with 1.0 already installed on my computer, the
Installer went into a loop (taking up all the cpu cycles but not responding)
when I tried to change the installation location. Version 1.0 was on a drive
that was not mounted at the time. The Installer defaulted to that missing drive
and when I wanted to change it, the program went into a loop. I tried this
several times with the same result.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have Mozilla 1.0 on a drive that's not available.
2. Start Installer and go up to the screen that specifies the installation
location. It should default to where 1.0 was installed.
3. Click "Browse" to change the location.

Actual Results:  
The program will hang and not respond.

Expected Results:  
Let you change to a different drive and continue installation.

I'm unable to reproduce this...
Please try and see if you can reproduce on a newer build fx nightly or Mozilla 1.2.1

I can reproduce this- using reporters steps.  Not sure if it is related to
versions- but if installation drive is no longer available- and I click browse
on next install - the installer hangs and I have  to kill the process.

Seamonkey and Firefox are using a new NSIS based installer. resolving this old
bug, please reopen if you still get this with the new installer
