After running the installer with the default installation settings it doesn't start up SeaMonkey once installation is complete. A debug installation build looks like chrome is being registered but for some reason it doesn't fire up SeaMonkey.
Ok, I just found out this was intentional. Resolving invalid.

Is there something special about a debug build, or was it the fact that it's Linux? On Windows XP, a stub installer build will auto-launch seamonkey.exe after it has completion installation.
