Default O.T. Missing Folder/files

the older version. Should we try to run the older
download or do you have a link to one?

What was it again I look up on Agent Ransack to
delete Sea Monkey?

Helper.exe, in a folder containing Seamonkey.
It will be in an "uninstall" folder belonging to Seamonkey.

Did you notice something in one of your pictures ???

It is installing in AppData and not Program Files or Program Files (x86).
That's wrong, and right now, I can't find a reference to this
issue in Google.

It's easy enough to fix, by telling the thing where you
want it to go.

This could happen if

*you are installing with the non-administrator account* ====

That also explains why the blasted thing isn't in Programs and Features.
A non-administrator cannot place an entry in there.

I didn't even think of that as a root cause, because I
didn't even know a non-administrator could get away
with the level of install that you've done! Thanks to
non-standard FOSS installer software, the Seamonkey
team has done a kind of "portable" install in a
non-standard place.

You need to:

Log in as the administrator user.

Install for All Users (then Rob_2 sees the install).

Otherwise, even if you typed the Program Files name
into the install dialog, Seamonkey will just deny that,
because it doesn't have admin to use.

Here is me as a member of the Administrator group installing.
Mine was installed in Program Files (x86) and is going back
there as a test.
