I can only think that this is caused by a Windows Update. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: The consequence is that Microsoft Internet Explorer is always selected in the profile migrator, even if your default browser was set to something else (e.g Opera)

Bruno, do you want to get this patch checked in?
Yes, we have it checked in in our Flock code.
Version: unspecified → 2.0 Branch
I'm working on this code, the patch was never checked in. But now this works with Windows 7.
