Yes.  It is fixed and I got the update internally last night.  Thank you!

InCtrl5.  I got it years ago from the PC Magazine Web site.  It was
freeware, but I think it is now purchase-ware.

It was not easy to install and run.  I finally had to set its properties
to run in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3.

While intended to launch installer executables, I found that I had
instead to run it in its two-phase mode -- run InCtrl5 to collect
"before" status, let it terminate, execute the installer myself, and
then relaunch InCtrl5 to collect "after" status and generate a report.

I used to use InCtrl5 with Windows 98.  I found a better application for 
Windows XP.  It was called Total Uninstall.  Not only would it record 
everything that happened during an installation, and would make a 
human-readable copy if you requested it, but if you uninstalled that 
item through it, it would reverse whatever happened during the installation.

Thanks Edmund,

I can see it being offered from the help menu now - I'll wait to see if 
it auto updates...

Thanks Mark,

The bugzilla link was helpful, looks like it's a known issue...

If you are indeed in the UK as your address indicates and if you are
indeed using some version of Windows as your user agent header field
indicates, then go go
,
download SeaMonkey Setup 2.40.exe, and install it over your existing
SeaMonkey.

Yes, I know that manually installing software is considered primitive.
On the other hand, I have three reasons to do it.

*I maintain both my own PC and my wife's.  I want to download only
once
and install twice.

*I want to control when to do an installation.  I do not want
time-critical tasks (e.g., stock transactions) interrupted or even
killed while an automatic installation occurs.

*Before I retired, I did software test and configuration, which I
still
do for my own PC.  I use an application that logs all changes to my PC
when I install new software or update existing software.  To prevent
