246319 - disable first launch checkbox in Auto installation mode not possible

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Martin Rasp]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; de-DE; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; de-DE; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

When doing an installation of FireFox 0.8 in Auto mode with enabled "Dialog
Installing" and "Dialog Install Successful" only, the checkbox "Launch App
Checked" is always checked (even if "Launch App Checked" is set to FALSE). We'd
like to install FF through NAL (Novell Application Launcher), which runs the
installation with Administrator privileges. Therefore the User shouldn't be able
to run FF during installation. If "Dialog Install Successful" is set to FALSE
the installation keeps the installing window open.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. click setup.exe
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
User can start FF within Administrator context.

Expected Results:  
It should be possible to disable the Launch App checkbox in config.ini.

Comment 1

[Martin Rasp]

I should mention that the user who has installed FF through NAL (with
Administrator rights) can run cmd.exe or explorer.exe (via File -> Open File)
and has Administrator access in those programs.

Comment 2

[Martin Rasp]

To reproduce this behavior FF can be installed under Windows XP by doing a "run
as" Administrator installation.

This doesn't affect the NSIS installer which has been in use since Firefox 2.0.

Resolving -> WONTFIX as it applies to fixing this bug for Firefox 1.5
