Okay Ed, thank you My issue is that I Am unable to install SM 2.4 on my W10 machine on drive e: in my box. I have dl'd the program, execute the installation, select custom install, select drive e:, installed, then get the message noted above about SM not being able to open. I have previously achieved this, but cannot figure out what incorrect turn I have made this time. There is a folder set up on drive e: for SM, maybe I need to delete it altogether and start again? Or maybe it is possible that I thought the program was loaded on a different drive when reality that was not true only the profiles?

Re: Installing SM 2.40 and Relations To Different Drive....
Could it be that you need but don't have administrator rights to install it at all, or that an existing profile has incorrect permissions? Can _you_ locate the existing profile(s) and read any of its/their files? Are error message(s) you get if you open a command prompt and try to start SM from it any different than you reported in your OP? Why don't you want to install it on the system drive? There is no need to keep SM profile(s) on the system drive. Profiles can be located anywhere you please, including someplace you can easily remember, find, backup and restore. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

DO NOT delete any folder from your E-drive.
Find the file named profiles.ini. It is likely somewhere on your
C-drive in a system folder. Edit that file as follows:
* Set IsRelative=0
* Set Path= to point to where your profile was pasted. This should be
the complete path.
Find the file named seamonkey.exe. This should be on your E-drive.
Copy the file and paste the copy AS A SHORTCUT on your desktop. (Does
Windows 10 have a desktop?) Select the shortcut, right-click, and
select Properties from the pull-down context menu. Edit the target to
add "-p xxx" after seamonkey.exe without the quotes and where xxx is the
name of your profile (the value of Name= in the file profiles.ini).
You might have to edit the file profile.js in your profile folder. This
must be done without SeaMonkey running and must be done very, very
carefully. Paths in that file might have to be changed to correspond to
paths in your Windows 10 installation. Be careful to change paths while
keeping the format of the old paths. If the preference variable
print_printer in profile.js has a value that does not reflect the name
of the printer in your new setup, change it to
user_pref("print_printer", "");
to use your Windows 10 default printer. There might be other changes
needed to prefs.js.
I have done this myself in going from Windows XP to Windows 7. It can
be a tedious process. It might take several attempts to get everything
correct.

I have dl'd the program, execute the installation, select custom install, select drive e:, installed, then get the message noted above about SM not being able to open. Actually, the message says the PROFILE cannot be opened. How did you restore your profile onto the new machine and where did you put it? How are you launching SM? What shortcut? Right-click the shortcut and click Properties, then the Shortcut tab. Check the Targe box. Is there a profile specified at the end of the line? Try launching the Profile Manager. What happens? Click Start. Type %APPDATA%\Mozilla. That will open Windows Explorer to the Profiles location. Verify that your SM profile is there, its name, and see if the SM shortcut is pointing to that location. I have previously achieved this, but cannot figure out what incorrect turn I have made this time. There is a folder set up on drive e: for SM, maybe I need to delete it altogether and start again?

I'm having flash backs of moving the profile via CD which usually/often resulted in all the files in the Profile being set to "Read Only", and SM needs to be able to write to various files in the Profile, so needs all files (and the Profile, itself!!) to not be marked as "Read Only"!!
