213573 - Won't let me install in my preffered directory because it contains the same letters as my windows directory

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Erik Åkerlund]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

I always have installed Mozilla into "C:\Winxp program\mozilla.org\mozilla\"

With version 1.5a it won't work though. It says that I'm trying to install it
into my windows directory, which isn't true. My windows directory is "C:\winxp"
and that's probably why. For some reason the installer ignores the space and the
following sentence ("program") and only sees "C:\winxp"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try to install it into a directory which resembles the directory where you
installed Windows.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
It won't let me install it

Expected Results:  
It should have let me install it

This problem only occurs in Mozilla 1.5a, not 1.4!

The reason I'm reporting this bug using Mozilla 1.4 is because I couldn't
install 1.5a into my preferred directory (where I have all my plug-ins and such)
