However, the .exe file is an installer file if he merely wants to run SeaMonkey from a different partition, folder, drive, etc., then the easiest obvious way is to simply extract the zip file to whatever folder/directory you want to run it from. Perhaps you should take time to read: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/install-and-uninstall To install SeaMonkey by downloading the .zip file and installing manually, follow these steps (normal users should NOT do that but use the installer as described above): The 2.30 version can be found here: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/2.30 Sure it is... but that won't provide the zip file. Instead try: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/ http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/ http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/2.30/ http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/2.30/win32/ Warning! The SeaMonkey version available for download from this page is outdated and may suffer from known security vulnerabilities. This page is only available for historic reference. We strongly advise you to download the current release instead. But why the OP wants to use 2.30 instead of 2.31 is beyond me: SeaMonkey 2.30 Released October 15, 2014 Warning!

Henrik, if you want to install SeaMonkey to anywhere except somewhere on the C:\ HD, it is my belief that you *must* do a CUSTOM installation and then tell SM where you want it installed. Do *not* just let SM install itself, else it will install to the C:\. No great problem! -- Daniel Seasons Greeting to One and All!!

Updating SM
Does SM usually ask before it applies an update? For example, the update to version 2.0.3. The reason I'm asking is because when I started it up today, it refused to load until I let it install this updatewhich was obviously already on my computer and I have no idea how or when it even got there! Is there something in preferences that needs to be changed to adjust this weird behaviour? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
