247384 - Custom install over previous installation should respect previous selection of components

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 168239

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Hans Schleichert]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040615
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040615

Whenever I install a new nightly build using the Custom install type, the
installer selects ALL components in the first place. I'd rather it deselected
components that aren't currently installed. On the other hand, the installer
should install a recent version of additional components, like the mozilla
calendar, when it finds such a component is currently installed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download nightly mozilla
2. Install over current installation
3. Select custom installation


Actual Results:  
All components are selected

Expected Results:  
Select only those components which are currently installed

In general it is not recomended to install over a previous version. A better
solution would an update feature. See bug 214360 for this.
So in my opinion this should be WONTFIX.
