Water off a Ducks back. I am wondering if it is because I have SM

The interesting thing is though when SM2 "installs" it does not look
anything look 1.1.18. There is a box that says something like
installing (or) updating GRE and then it is finished--that is a box
comes up and says Finished.
When the shortcut is clicked nothing happens.
Let me get this straight. You have a highly non-standard setup -- you
install applications in what is designated by the system vendor
(Microsoft) as an "user data" area (I wonder if your iTunes setup is
non-standard too?), disregarding all the defaults and recommended
settings. Then something goes wrong -- and it's somehow Seamonkey's fault?
An aside: the most irate complaints I have seen in this forum came from
people who went out of their way to make things break. I remember a guy
complaining about Seamonkey not working right after forcing the
installation of 2.0 over 1.1.x. Another one cut & pasted his user
profile instead of using the import tool -- while the release notes are
very clear about the profile structure being changed.
Also noted.
@John (not all CAPS John Boyle):
So, despite the 'directory/folder' debate; John please tell us *exactly*
where you have SeaMonkey installed, where you have your itunes etc
installed. You state that you have/had them both installed in your
'Documents and Settings' folder, can you provide details regarding this?
I also note that "John" had this thread (SM 2.0 11/03/2009) via a
different email address and the thread was left like this:

There was nothing else running and some thing called SM Wizard showed up
but, did nothing. I reinstalled 1.18 restarted the system.
it also trashed all my files in acouple of folders. I am Really PO ed
I seriously doubt that SeaMonkey trashed any of your iTunes & other
folders. But, assuming that it did; can you please detail _exactly_ what
you did to install SM 2.0 and reinstall 1.1.18, what your operating
system is & also your hardware details?
I closed all open applications double clicked the file I downloaded from
Mozilla and then I got a message that it was installing SM 2.0 then,
something called wizard showed up and continued to run for about 1 hour
at that point I restarted the computer and found the damage.
Without further details, my guess would be that you had/have something
else wrong with your system. That's not to discount that something in
the SM installer didn't contribute to the issue, but I see no possible
way to show otherwise without additional details. _If_ SM did create the
problem, then it would be most helpful to know how/why as that's a
pretty serious issue.
You still haven't provided details regarding the OS & hardware. Please
also provide the *exact* information regarding "trashed all my files in
acouple of folders" + what (if any) antivirus you use, when you last
scanned your system with the AV, etc.
So "John" are you the same "Rick" from that thread?

My guess is you are.
no
