(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect)

Description

[herr_ubergeek]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

I am attempting to upgrade Firefox to the latest release (v1.0.5) due to the
security vulnerabilities that have been reported in previous versions.

I downloaded the update from the Firefox website as per normal; when the install
is attempted, the installer program bar is labelled "Netscape 7.2. Setup" and
after clicking through the EUA the installer attmepts to install to the path
"Program Files\Netscape\Netscape\", at which point the installer crashes.

As a side note in case it is of assistance, I do not, nor have I ever, had
Netscape installed on this particular host.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on installer icon to run the installer.

2. At the "Netscape 7.2 Setup Welcome" window click next.

3. At the "Netscape 7.2 Setup - Software License Agreement" window select the 
"I accept..." radio button and click next.

4. At the "Netscape 7.2 Setuup - Setup Type" window select either type of setup
and click next.

5. At the next window click next.

6. Throw arms up in air and scream into pillow when installer crashes again. :-)

Actual Results:  
The installer crashed.

Expected Results:  
Well, it shouldn't have crashed. :-) The install should've continued as per normal.
