P4
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows Server 2008R2
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Your installer attempts by default to alter the user's browser settings (in this case home page, setting it to Yahoo). This is a DEFECT and is UNACCEPTABLE. If you absolutely must present these "offers" to the user, then the behaviour should be an OPT IN and NOT an OPT OUT. The way your software installation is configured, it deliberately attempts to take advantage of those users who are sick to death of agreements spanning many pages and have little patience to read entirely unecessary and entirely irrelevant pages when attempting to install software that only gets worse with every release.
SORT THIS OUT !
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Just run the installer.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I expect not to have to un-tick boxes to stop your shoddy software modifying my settings by setting the home page to an equally disreputable company's search/ home page.
ACTUAL -
I have to un-tick boxes to stop your shoddy software modifying my settings by setting the home page to an equally disreputable company's search/ home page.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Don't use Java (or any software from Oracle for that matter). Sadly this is not always an option as there are some companies that insist on using Java (mostly Oracle actually).
