37337 - [feature] option to save downloaded bits in win installer

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect, P3)

Description

[Cathleen]

Users wants to reinstall downloaded bits (on same machine or different machines) 
The biggest problem is that they *WILL HAVE TO* go through the download process 
again to do reinstall.  Download can sometime take up to another 4+ hour to do.

We need an option to save downloaded bits in the Installer, so users can run 
installer later without going through download again.

The default option is to not save the xpi bits, unless they specifically checks 
that option.  Also, change putting downloaded xpi bits from system TEMP 
directory to a "install" folder under final destination.   As a default, we will 
clean up that location after we install seamonkey.  If the save option is 
checked, we will leave the xpi bits there available for next use.

fixed.

The option is now offered in the Advanced Settings dialog.  There is an Advanced 
Settings button in the last dialog that will show the Advanced Settings dialog.

I put the option in the Advanced Settings dialog *for now* because it made the 
most sense there.

The Advanced Settings dialog currently only has settings that pertain to 
downloading files: Site Selector, Proxy Settings, and the save installer files 
option.

If there's a better place for the save installer files option, let me know (open 
new bug please).
