283584 - Installer initializes directory picker with %temp% subdirectory on custom installation

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 241282

(Firefox :: Installer, defect)

Description

[gryph]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0.1/win32/en-US/

When installing in another location than the default installation directory, the
directory picker opens initialized with a subdirectory created in the current
user's %temp% path. 
That seems to be the location the installer keeps it's temporary data in and
obviously is no sensible location to install an application in.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start installer "Firefox Setup 1.0.1.exe"
2. Click "Continue" in first dialog page ("Firefox Setup")
3. Check "I Accept .." in second dialog page ("Software License Agreement")
4. Check "Custom" in third dialog page ("Setup Type")
5. Click on "Browse" button


Actual Results:  
Directory picker gets initialized with the location
c:\dokumente und einstellungen\username\lokale einstellungen\temp\3\7zSD.tmp

that's the same as %temp%\3\7zSD.tmp

Expected Results:  
The directory picker should have been initialized with 
c:\programme\Mozilla Firefox
(the default installation location)



To write this report, I specifically used the en-US (non-localized) version on
my german Windows XP installation - the behaviour is the same with the de-DE
(localized) version.
