[Francesco Levorato]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; it-IT; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20050203 Mozilla Sunbird/0.2

Depending on choices done during Shortcuts creation, you end up having either
the original SunBird icon or the standard installer icon.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install through "Custom" installation, default directory for installation 
2. Pick one of the following configuration among quick launch (QL), start
menu(SM), desktop icon(DI) options: a. pick only one option (no matter which
one); b. pick QL and DI; c. pick DI and SM
3. complete install
4. check Windows Installed Application list (in Control Panel)

Actual Results:  
Instead of the desktop icon you get the installer icon beside the SunBird entry
in the Application list

I can confirm this behaviour with Sunbird 0.2's installer. However, I guess we'll leave this alone until there are a new installer available, right?

Reporter:
Can you replicate this issue with the new, NSIS-based Windows installer?

Comment 7

[Nuno Gonçalo Brito]

I don't know exactly it it uses the NSIS installer but I tried installing it with "sunbird-0.3a2.en-US.win32.installer.exe" and I still don't have the Sunbird icon in the Windows Installed Application list.

Sunbird 0.3a2 used the old XPInstall installer.
If you could try to replicate the issue using a nightly build, or the 0.3 release candidate (RC), it would be very helpful.

[Nuno Gonçalo Brito]

I downloaded and installed the 0.3 release candidate 1 from the FTP site and it worked fine, i.e. the Sunbird icon is correctly displayed in the Windows Installed Applications list.

I guess this should be invalid since we're using a new installer now.
