26147 - win32 has a double want to install in D:\\netscape...

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect, P3)

Description

[Henrik Lynggaard Hansen]

The problem is that I have changed the program files folder from C:\program 
files to D:\

this means that instead of guessing

C:\program files\netscape etc.

it guesses

D:\\netscape etc.

this is on win98, build ID 2000020108

This is the correct behavior.

Our suggested installation path is depending on the result of your Windows 
registry value.

We query Windows registry key 
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Current 
Version\\ProgramFilesPath) to find where your default "program files" folder is.  
This value was set by the OS during Windows installation.

If for some reason, this value in Windows registry is not set, we query for your 
default OS drive, and then append "program files" to it.

You can always change the installation directory manually when installing 5.0.  
Installer should remember your custom path for your next installation, so you 
won't need to change it again.
