== Summary ==


To support Windows x64 we would like to have a stub installer that checks if the user is runnin Windows x64 and then downloads / installs the correct bits. To accomplish this, I propose we use the existing installer, have it check if it already has the files to install, and if it doesn't have it download an archive containing the correct files. To support this, a rewrite of the installer user interface will be necessary.
== Release Requirements ==
* For clarity, the installer user interface rewrite can be done prior to implementing the stub installer.
== Next Steps ==
* Final mockups - initial mockups were given to Alex Faaborg and Alexander Limi on 2/11/2011.
* Decide if we want to contract out this work as we have done once before with the Windows x64 installer work.
== Related Bugs & Dependencies ==
These are the bugs we are using the track this work...
* {{bug|651965}} - Installer user interface rewrite
* {{bug|322206}} - Firefox net / stub installer (depends on {{bug|651965}})
* {{bug|628869}} - [Win] update installer elements to read Mozilla Firefox (depends on {{bug|651965}})
== Use Cases ==
TBD
== Team ==
* Feature Manager: Robert Strong
* Lead Developer: Robert Strong
* QA: ?
* UX: Alex Faaborg
* Security: ?
== Designs ==
Initial mockups can be found in {{bug|651965}}.
Most recent mockup: https://bug651965.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=543348
Note that after the user clicks install on step 1, even if they walk away Firefox will eventually be installed.  This will likely improve conversion, since the stub installer is considerably smaller than the entire Firefox download (and they may lose interest at the download stage).
Here's a [https://bug513414.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=397421 high level view of our previous install process]
== Testing ==
TBD
== Security Review ==
A security review should not be necessary for the installer user interface rewrite though a security review will most assuredly be required for the stub installer ({{bug|322206}}).
