When HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SeaMonkeyHTML exists, installer creates HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SeaMonkeyHTML.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run REGEDIT.EXE, delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SeaMonkeyHTML if it exists.
2.Install SeaMonkey twice.
3.Refresh and check if there is a key named SeaMonkeyHTML under HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
Actual Results:  
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SeaMonkeyHTML has been created.

Expected Results:  
The old HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SeaMonkeyHTML should be overwritten.
That's certainly a bug. As far as I see this, the problem is the code at http://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/annotate/f525b7b9b3f5/suite/installer/windows/nsis/shared.nsh#l677
