301501 - Stub installer puts XPI and installed files under the same tree, by default

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Serge Gautherie (:sgautherie)]

[Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050720 SeaMonkey/1.0a]
(nightly) (W98SE)

Stub Installer:

'Setup Type' directory being set to |M:\Program Files\mozilla.org\SeaMonkey|
'Additional Option' then defaults to: |M:\Program
Files\mozilla.org\SeaMonkey\Setup SeaMonkey|

This is fine by itself;
but may lead to an unwanted result:

When uninstalling SM, I may answer |Yes| when asked if I want to remove the
whole installed directory ... forgetting that the xpi files are stored there too;
then, if I want to reinstall SM, I have to download the files again :-/
--> This kind of defeats the purpose of that option ! <--

Separating the two places would be fine...

Workaround is to do it "manually" when installing :-|
