Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start the installer. 2. Select Custom installation type. 3. Uncheck the "Chatzilla" checkbox. Actual Results: Chatzilla is installed. Expected Results: Chatzilla must not be installed.
CCing Frank, he should know most about the installer.
This could be fall-out from Bug 556644, the core\ folder in the installer also includes the extensions\ folder. Normally only the optional\ folder should include the extensions\ folder (as all the extensions can be unchecked when using the custom installation mode). Everything in the core\ folder gets copied to SeaMonkey program folder so that is why deselecting components no longer works.

Attached patch Untested patch (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
Comment on attachment 471209 [details] [diff] [review] Untested patch Patch seems to work fine, I tested it by creating a SeaMonkey installer and deselecting optional components. I also checked the temporary folder into which the installer files get extracted to, the core\extensions\ folder only contains the SeaMonkey themes, which are not optional components.

Actually Attachment 471209 [details] [diff] did not work fine, I forgot to test running SeaMonkey itself.. Here is a new approach: This one removes all files from installer-stage/core/ which are also present in installer-stage/optional/.

This one is better, it avoids the warning because of the dot directory that cannot be removed (as the first line in the find output with the old patch was "." for the current directory).

Fwiw, I think this qualifies as NPOTB because Firefox has no optional components. Please test it on try though to make sure it doesn't blow anything up.
Pushed to try, worked fine, then pushed to m-c: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/1951afcefd05
