Hello

all Mozilla Applications on Windows should have a default path:
%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla\[App name]

example:
%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla\Firefox
%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla\Minefield
%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla\Calendar

So all Apps are in one folder "Mozilla"

In the Start Menu the same:
%HOMEPATH%\Start Menu\Programs\Mozilla\[App name]


In the %APPDATA% there it seams to be already right.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. load for example the Sunbird Setup 1.0 beta 1.exe
2. start the installer
3. the destination folder is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Sunbird\
Actual Results:  
%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla [App name]
%HOMEPATH%\Start Menu\Programs\Mozilla [App name]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Sunbird\
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\

Expected Results:  
%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla\[App name]
%HOMEPATH%\Start Menu\Programs\Mozilla\[App name]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla\Sunbird\
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla\Firefox\

Plattform = Other because I can not select "Windows All"

Comment 2

Seems like a lot of effort for little to negative gain... but moving to the right component so that this has a chance of an official response.

As comment #2 stated, lots of effort for little (if any) gain. We're not going to do this.
