A question for the developers: In the installation there's a target

WHY is that button there if you already KNOW installing to an
alternative destination will likely fail?
It isn't likely to fail - UNLESS you install OVER an old SeaMonkey
version.

Which it wasn't. And this is an ancient problem, as I discovered when
filing a bugzilla report. Migration doesn't work in certain
circumstances, period.
We know that it sometimes fails, we also know that those cases probably
have no connection to the installation location, though.
And we got good data on one spaceific case of failure which we could
narrow down to a crash and fix in 2.0.3 - if we get consistent data on
where the failure happens, we can try and get it fixed.
"Migrations fails if it's dawn and the weather is nice" unfortuantely
can't easily be narrowed down to a specific problem in our software.
Unfortunately, many bug reports read somewhat like that.
