When changing the installation location, the folder browser does not allow to
specify a non-existing folder. This is not a problem if 'Firefox' would be
appended to the selected folder, but this also is not done.
For instance selecting
c:\programs
will not install in e.g.
c:\programs\firefox
but actually installs in
c:\programs
This is a problem, since de-installing effectively REMOVES all subfolders of
c:\programs,
including any other programs installed below this folder. It did this on my PC.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start installation program.
2. Select custom install
3. Specify a DIFFERENT folder from the standard folder.
No non-existing folder can be specified.
4. Continue install.
Actual Results:
Install is performed in selected folder. De-install removes existing folder and
all subfolders.
Expected Results:
either
1. Install in subfolder of selected existing folder
2. Allow to specify non-existing folder.
Done using official 0.9 installer.
