Platform: Win32 on Win98 and WinNT 4.0 (I did not try Win95)
Build: 1999-04-22-17
Problem: The installer program does not install the correct base.zip that is
located in the same directory as the install.exe. For example todays,
Install.exe from the 1999-04-22-17 directory installs the base.zip from the
/current directory. This is confusing to QA because,
a) an un-informed QA engineer will think he is installing the 1999-04-22-17 but
he is actually getting whatever build is in the current directory
b) it make it harder for QA, especially installer QA, to test a specific build.
c) if you want to run the Install.exe, you have to check what is in the current
directory which most likely will contain a later build b/c release engineering
builds constantly
d) it delay testing of the released build.
Sean Su explain the behavior of the Install.exe the last time I had problems
running the install.exe around the M4 time frame.
Work around: You must manually download the base.zip and uncompress the files.
Steps to reproduce problem:
1) Download the install.exe from
ftp://sweetlou/products/client/seamonkey/windows/32bit/x86/1999-04-22-17
2) Run install.exe
3) Follow the install program
For me, it installs only the talkback files which Chris Yeh said was in the
4/23 build.

This is as designed. However, there is a missing feature that is currently
being worked on to be able to install base.zip if there is one in the local
directory.
