Target Milestone: M9
We need to put full path in the filed that says which text editor to use. If you fill that field using Browse button, you won't see this error. If the user enters the path manually, we should make sure that enters the complete path. It works for notepad as path to notepad will be there in the environment PATH for most of the machines. Either we need to add some text on the top of this field requesting user to enter complete path or have Wizardmachine check whether user entered a valid path for the text editor of his choice. Setting TFV to M9.
Bulk move to M11.
Priority: P3 → P2
Elevating to P2 since this affects the doc.
Bulk move to post-beta1.
