76275 - Installer should put up a dialog at the end of installation

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 54991

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Simon Fraser [no longer active]]

The installer should put up a dialog at the end of the install process to say 
that installation was successful, otherwise users will never know, and may 
suspect that the installer simply quit silently in the middle of the install.

Please don't give me any marketing crap about seamless integration of the 
installer and running the product for the first time (activation *cough cough*).

Sound a bit like bug 23222 to me.

Comment 5

[Simon Fraser [no longer active]]

I'll let ssu decide.

Comment 6

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

23222 is similar, but since the native installers are separate code for each 
platform it's usually better to write individual bugs for each one.

Comment 7

[Syd Logan]

Agreed, but not for 6.5.

Comment 8

[Syd Logan]

When we do this, we certainly want to add some buttons that allow the user to
decide if the browser should be run immediately or not. Just launching the
browser from the installer unsolicited is bogus (I asked to install the thing, I
didn't ask to run it :-).
