#16995: Install continues when cancel pressed on GTK failure on Windows 10
---------------------+---------------------------
Reporter: zafnz | Owner: EionRobb
Type: defect | Status: new
Milestone: | Component: unclassified
Version: 2.10.12 | Keywords: installer gtk
---------------------+---------------------------
When installing, if GTK fails to download, and "Cancel" is pressed, the
installation continues anyway, installing essentially a "broken" app.
== Replication steps ==
> Be windows 10
> Download NOT the offline installer ("online"?)
> Go through install wizard with broken/offline internet connection.
> GTK download fails and error appears indicating as much. Click Cancel.
> Install continues anyway
> (whilst already knowing the outcome) run Pidgin, fails to run, noting
GTK probably missing.
== Workaround ==
Download offline installer, install "over the top", enjoy a working app!
== Suggested fix ==
When Cancel pressed, abort the install, perhaps even open browser to the
suggested page.
