Installation of Selenium IDE Fails #85

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Operating system and version (32/64bit) : Windows 7 64 bit

The installation of the IDE fails because it is expecting firefox.exe to be 
installed on the c: drive. However, on my system it is installed on the e: 
drive.

I guess the software should check where firefox is installed before attempting 
to install the IDE?

Great software by the way... I love it! Thank you!

By the way, as a temporary workaround I used the utility "junction" (downloaded 
from the link below) to create a symbolic link from c:\...\Mozilla Firefox to 
e:\...\Mozilla Firefox. Once I created the link the install worked ok. Note 
that the utility "junction" MUST be run from a command line that was started in 
administrator mode.

Actually, it's not restricted to the C drive, but to the default installation 
path:
%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
You can also install the extension manually by dropping the file 
"selenium-ide.xpi" in Firefox.
A fix would be to look up the path from the registry.

Fixed in v1.0.20.0 (Now takes the path from the registry)
