From the spec: http://client.mcom.com/machv/xpinstall/WizardContent.html
Screen 5 - Download Options
Add the recapture the homepage checkbox to this screen, below the download path.
After the pre-checked box, the text should say,
" Make Netscape.com my homepage. "
The title of the screen should be changed as well, maybe just
"Netscape 6 Setup - Additional Options"
Jatin - any input from you on those two items would be welcome.

When you implement this be sure to have a config.ini setting to say whether this
is enabled or not (as is done for Quick Launch and others) so the Mozilla builds
can have this turned off.

Suggested wording:
"Make Netscape.com my home page."
"Additional Options" seems more appropriate then "Download Options."

Yes, please provide an option to remove/disable this from the installer UI. Not
all vendor of Mozilla would like to provide this option to their users.

I've added bug 128481 to track the need to clean up the code now that the Site
Selector functionality will no longer be supported in the UI.

All the functionality to recapture the homepage is in this patch, but it is all
turned off in the config.it settings. Although the settings would be turned
off by default anyway, I have explicitely turned them off with comments about
what their pupose is.
NS patch to follow will turn install the required component and turn on the
functionality.

After talking with Sean, this patch:
- Fixes a blocker in the first patch.
- Switches reference to the DOWNLOAD_OPTIONS_DIALOG to say
ADDITIONAL_OPTIONS_DIALOG.
- Changed DIALOGEX to DIALOG DISCARDABLE in rc file.
- Hiding instead of disabling the "Save Download" option stuff when it is not
applicable.
- Always calling the dialog "Additional Options". (I was calling it "Save
Download Option" for mozilla.)

You forgot to change the title string:
+Title=$ProductName$ Setup - Save Download Option
other than that, r=ssu
Is there a bug filed on changing the new checkbox description?

Here is the suggested verbiage from Gregg Landskov to go with the checkbox:
"Netscape.com is the perfect compliment to your Netscape Software"
Of course, I'll have to put something less Netscape in as a placeholder for
mozilla. Anybody got a strong opinion about what that should say? Will
something like "The following checkbox gives users the option of reverting to
the default home page" do?

Sure that sounds good. It doesn't really matter because this option is invisible
for mozilla folks anyway, right?

Yes, it is invisible. I was going to set it to an empty string but looks pretty
funny if someone fiddles with the config file to see how it works. They'd
potentially get a checkbox all alone on the dialog. So it seems like something
inoccuous is a good idea.
I'll add that to my patch. Still need sr= on this before I can go for
permission to check this in.

This solves the specified problem, but it's not extensible. What do you do if
marketing comes back with the "reset the search engine" request? You can't have
multiple criteria, and even if you could you'd end up with 4 run-app sections
(n^2 in the general case).
This is smelling like a temporary hack. Should I sr= anyway?

I'm for putting this in, since it does meet the immediate requirement, and
letting it bake to see if extensibility is even desirable. If having this
functionality engenders ideas for other related functionality that is desirable
then we can put more brainpower into thinking up a more flexible solution. On
the other hand, if this is all we ever want (I suspect it may be) than we don't
waste time overengineering it.

we are not expecting to add capability for search or anything else to this list
at this time. While realizing this could change, I think we should get this in
and move on due to the chance being slim to none.
If it is does indeed come to pass that it needs to become extensible, there will
need to be significant justification from higher up to do anything, and even
then it will simply need to come after rtm.

sr=dveditz with the caveat that this non-extensible hack needs to get ripped
out or re-written when we re-jigger the config.ini language to be consistent
across platforms again.
