(Firefox :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Ofek]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; he; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; he; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3

Upgraded from 2.0.0.2 to 2.0.0.3, from within firefox.  The installed programs list in control-panel/add-remove-programs now includes a duplicate entry :
Mozilla firefox (2.0.0.2)
Mozilla firefox (2.0.0.3)

Specifically, the uninstaller did not remove the registry key -
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox (2.0.0.2)
but yet added the key -
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox (2.0.0.3).

The two keys are practically identical, except the old key using 8-char folder names.  running the uninstall script on the old version (as unsuspecting users certainly may do), will result in uninstallation of the latest (and only) version.

I deleted the old key manually, and didn't go through with checking reproducibility.


Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Running FF 2.0.0.2, choose 'check for updates' from within FF and update to 2.0.0.3.
2.run the update, restart FF.
3. check out control-panel/add-remove-progs
Actual Results:  
duplicate entry:
Mozilla firefox (2.0.0.2)
Mozilla firefox (2.0.0.3)

Expected Results:  
single entry:
Mozilla firefox (2.0.0.3)
