21575 - Eliminate "Netscape" in Installer

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect, P3)

Description

[Ben Bucksch (:BenB)]

The Installer represents itself as installer of "Netscape Seamonkey", defaults
to "%PROGRAMDIR%\Netscape\Seamonkey" and creates "Netscape Seamoney/Netscape
Mozilla" icon (did I forget something? :-) ).

Disclaimer: I understand, that the installer roots in the commercial Seamonkey
installer and that this bug is a leftover. I'm happy, that we have an installer
for Mozilla now.

Linking to metabug #14532.

Isn't this installer customized by a text file? Is it in the tree?

Comment 2

[Sean Su]

yes it is a customizable text field.  There are, however, many other places that
reference "Netscape".  I will try to weed them out and replace them with
something more appropriate for the mozilla installer.

Let's use this bug to track all of the references to "Netscape".

Reopening. By default, the installer still puts Mozilla in <C:\Program
Files\Netscape\Seamonkey>, when it should be <C:\Program
Files\Mozilla\Seamonkey>.

Clearing FIXED resolution due to reopening. (Go vote for bug 4243!)

But while I'm here, I forgot to mention the build: 1999122308.

set to M15, bug meeting 3/20

Comment 7

[Sean Su]

fixed.  The path has been updated to not contain "netscape".  To vefify this,
you'll have to run RegEdit.exe and remove the following key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Netscape\Netscape Seamonkey

Yes, I know.  There's still "Netscape" here.  This is a different problem.  This 
is not visible.  It's only in the windows registry.
