212836 - installer does not remember previous installation settings

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 92357

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Kevin Gadd]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030715
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030715

The installer for Mozilla does not remember the start menu folder and
quicklaunch setting chosen in previous Mozilla installations, and it doesn't
remember the components chosen in the last install.

I have only been able to get it to remember the folder previous versions were
installed in. It would be nice if it remembered what components I installed last
time, and where I put the start menu folder and if I enabled quicklaunch.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download a mozilla installer for win32
2. Install over your current mozilla installation
Actual Results:  
The installer did not remember the settings I used the last time I installed
(except target folder)

Expected Results:  
The installer should have remembered what components, etc. I chose to install
last time, and where I put my start menu icons, so I wouldn't have to click all
over and type things in.
